Folks, I wrote this in 2012—after Obama won. I called for oversight over fraudulent and hidden social media "news". http://www.nytimes.com/2012/11/17/opinion/beware-the-big-data-campaign.html …pic.twitter.com/atLroVGBVM

This one is from 2014 is on "computational politics", the multiple dimensions of the issue. http://firstmonday.org/article/view/4901/4097 …https://twitter.com/OlMucky/status/798642239295680516 …

Another one about on both algorithmization and privatization (and hiding) of the public sphere: http://ctlj.colorado.edu/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Tufekci-final.pdf …
This one is more on why Silicon Valley's "insurgent" phase is over, and what the ad-financing model means for it: http://www.mitpressjournals.org/doi/full/10.1162/DAED_a_00366 …

Followed by "that's not my department", I presume. (By the way: anyone know how to coax Tom Lehrer of retirement?) https://twitter.com/NellieBowles/status/798655906904870912 …

"Denver Guardian"—comparable shares as real newspapers—is fake. Stories as: "Hillary email leaker FBI agent killed."https://twitter.com/jayrosen_nyu/status/798545530955636736 …

So, a few responses to the most common objections to my "fake news" op-ed: "It wasn't the only factor." Of course not. No such claim. 1/n
"We had fake news on both sides." That's true, and as best I can tell, it was massively unbalanced both in numbers and in tone. 2/n
"People want to believe the misinformation." Obviously. Take a group prone to an opinion & drown them in fake news. That has an impact. 2/n
"This is what talk-radio/Fox etc. was always like." I've listened to that media a long time & perceived a striking difference this year. 3/n
"There is a lot of gray in truth." No kidding. Longer term thing to grapple with. This election saw avalanche of hard-to-believe fraud. 4/n
