Ich hatte kürzlich die Gelegenheit,bei einer wunderbaren Initiative dabei sein zu können.
Wenn ihr auch der Meinung seid, offizielle Stellen sollten neben kommerziellen Social-Media-Plattformen selbstverständlich auch auf offenen informieren, dann schaut doch vorbei u. zeichnet mit:
savesocial.eu
The relationship between social media and democracy is complex but important and there is a lot of debate.
For coordination, I wanted to gauge the community with a discussion thread about what, in my view, we do know and the ones we do not know (yet), please add your thoughts and/or disagree: 1/n

'Going all in': in #Germany, the leader of the opposition & centre-right candidate for the chancellorship claims that asylum seekers commit acts of gang-rape on a daily basis. There is zero evidence for this, and it is unrelated to the bill they are discussing. Another field day for the #farright

Von der TAZ wurde ich zum Stellenwert von Social Media und KI im Bundestagswahlkampf 🗳️interviewt. Ich sehe das Gefahrenpotential von generativer KI im Wahlkampf am ehesten darin, dass „gefühlte Wahrheiten“ bebildert werden und vorhandene Einstellungen dadurch verstärkt werden.

Dataset alert ⏰
We just uploaded the preprint for a novel dataset of German politicians' public broadcast interviews (around 100 interviews, 30 politicians, 28k sentences) sourced from YouTube & manually validated + speaker identification and timestamps, ready for re-use 👍 arxiv.org/pdf/2501.04484?

Just published a website for {metatargetr}📦 and added more functionalities, including retrieving *historical* ad targeting and report data from the Meta Ad Library.
Created an archive for this because Meta does not make historical data available. #rstats

Team of researchers of the CSS unit at LMU Munich
Hello, world! The #CSS Lab at @ifkw.bsky.social @LMU Munich is now officially on #bluesky.
🙌 Let's discuss #css, #digitalmethods, #AI, & all things #commsci

Prof Betsi Grabe giving a talk on visual campaigning at LMU Munich.
Thrilled to host Prof Betsi Grabe at @ifkw.bsky.social this week! She shared brilliant insights on the visual dynamics of US campaigns, urging journalists to point cameras away from politicians more often to take the audience behind the scenes of campaigns - behind the desired image of politicians.
Another look at the "law of dispersion": In the German city of Bremen, the turnout rates of different neighbourhoods in Bundestag elections have diverged quite dramatically over the past four decades.
The Meta Ad Library is now lagging behind 12 (!) days. It has never been this bad. Elections are going on in multiple countries including Romania, Sri Lanka, Urugay, and soon Ireland and Iceland.
Absolutely unaccepable.
Thank you very much for the list. Could you please add me?
This is a fantastic resource with scientific analyses of the US election. It's impressive how fast the editors and contributing authors are.
