    Oh, wow. Wow especially since in Germany, Facebook has been forced, through fines, to hire many moderators to respond to hate speech. If this finding holds, imagine the effect around in places Facebook has been terribly understaffed and unresponsive for years—Burma, Sri Lanka...https://twitter.com/elipariser/status/1031983483151892480 …

    This research suggests that Facebook specifically drove 1/10th of anti-refugee violence in Germany, after accounting for a bunch of other factors. Didn't correlate with general web use, just Facebook: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/08/21/world/europe/facebook-refugee-attacks-germany.html?hp&action=click&pgtype=Homepage&clickSource=story-heading&module=first-column-region&region=top-news&WT.nav=top-news …

        I'm reading.😱 IMO, Germany is a best-case scenario for Facebook. A government they could not ignore forced them to staff up and respond at a scale that, as far as I know, they've not done anywhere else. (Someone correct me if there is another country). https://twitter.com/ShuhBillSkee/status/1031985801746296832 …

        And folks, these are just the kind of challenges I'll be working on next year, and am hiring one computer science/technical and one social science post-doc to work on an interdisciplinary research project to tackle these issues.

        Friends I'm hiring *two* post-docs: one from computer science/AI and one from social science. We're going to take on thorny problems, do solid and solution-oriented research with global focus. Come work with me!

        This particular study may or may not turn out to be strong methodologically, but the real lesson here is that we need Facebook to provide data to independent researchers! The link between spread of hate speech and violence is of incredible importance, and causal studies are hard!

        I am skeptical about the statistical inference here. Note that their robustness checks with alternative (more reasonable) choices of standard errors do not include the critical results based on Internet/FB outages. My uncharitable guess: it didn't remain significant.
