🟦 Mis/disinformation exposure is the highest on TikTok (20%), followed by Facebook (13%) and X (11%).
🟦 Sources that repeat misinformation outperform credible sources, with up to 8X more engagement per follower on YouTube.
🟦 Many 'misinformers' still profit from ads, especially on YouTube.

One of our findings is that out of the 8,500+ posts that contain at least one type of attack, policy-focused attacks remain relatively civil (47% of such posts are uncivil), whereas personal-based attacks tend to be particularly uncivil (67%).
