Meta begins testing Community Notes in the US this week, and it’s exciting to see @mcgilldelve.bsky.social bringing attention to my ongoing research in this area (still going through journal review).

My work highlights the potential of Community Notes, while also pointing out some challenges.

What better week to launch my newsletter than the one where Meta (owners of Instagram and Facebook, for those who don't keep up) announced significant changes to their fact-checking programs?

#ICIS2024 is going to be packed with two presentations (including one by a McGill PhD candidate), followed by another presentation at #WISE2024. Somehow, I still need to squeeze in time to submit a revision and complete a couple of reviews!
