How do German MPs debate wealth taxation on social media?
Although wealth in Germany is distributed very unequally and taxation could address this, the topic rarely features in public debate. This was our starting point for examining politicians’ FB, Insta, and X posts from the past nine years 🧵1/5

Happy to share our new preprint “Content-based detection of misinformation expands its scope across politicians and platforms.” We analyzed misinformation at the text level in posts by German politicians on Facebook, Instagram, X, and TikTok.

Excited to share that my paper "Separate Worlds of Misinformation" has just been published. When we talk about misinformation, we usually think of social media. But what about other information environments, even the most trusted ones?

How Elon Musk used X to amplify Germany’s far right ahead of election
Musk won AfD a massive new audience, and JD Vance added support. That brought the party outsized attention, but the impact in Germany was limited, data shows.
