    1/8 Did you know that Twitter is experimenting with new features that would expose its users to opposing political views? In this @nytimes piece, I describe why this idea could backfire based upon a large online experiment recently conducted by my lab: https://nyti.ms/2Nu45gL

        I read oncw, exposure to opposing views works if the other person is someone you know in real life and trust. I don't remember if this was a scientific result or author's opinion, but it makes sense. Is this possible in mass social media? In its current form, don't think so.

        I think I can handle that for myself - and I do- I follow people who infuriate me from the left and the right. Once in a while I agree with them. Nazis, however, deserve lumber with velocity.

        I just block anything Twitter promotes. I don’t care if I agree, disagree or need a product, block city.

        My entire TL is filled with people incredulously amplifying people and concepts they loathe. Isn't that enough exposure?

        Yeah — the second hand “omg” circulation is an issue too
