Happy to share my co-authored piece with Tan Khai Ee, on one of the first empirical studies of Facebook ads in India.

We examine how incumbency, personalization & issue focus shape campaign tone in subnational elections: Bihar (2020), West Bengal (2021) & UP (2022).

Are AI deepfakes always polarizing?

Our 2024 India elections study (N=1,627):

News about out-party use of deepfakes didn't increase affective polarization
AI approval → lower polarization

Impact depends on context — fears may be overstated. @ozankuru.bsky.social

Unlike professional fact-checkers, community-driven moderation lacks the rigour, neutrality, and expertise required to tackle nuanced, culturally specific falsehoods. Worse, it opens the door for coordinated brigading by bad actors to manipulate truth ratings.

My take on why Meta’s retreat from fact-checking is a dangerous gamble with the truth, risking greater harm in regions like South & Southeast Asia, where misinformation thrives in local vernacular languages.
