Last month in Virginia, the people made their voices heard at the ballot box and voted for new Congressional maps.

Let’s make it viral folks. Thank you @histoftech.bsky.social.
No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

What’s the difference between a gov controlling an algorithm, silently eliminating reach for things it doesn’t like, vs the same gov using its power, to demand that the platform remove the things it doesn’t like.?

Fact-checking wasn’t “biased” against conservatives. Conservatives just shared more false content. If there’s a sportsball game and one team fouls four times as much, it’s not “biased” for the ref to call four times as many fouls against that team.

Why this really matters:
Most misinfo research *assumes people care about epistemic motives & interventions are based on this*
Our work highlights the importance of understanding when misinformation is likely to be driven by *feelings* so accuracy interventions are less effective
