Excellent and concise summary of what we all need to think about in terms of social media’s role in politics

Today, I stood before the Danish parliament on a public hearing on social media & democracy

As a researcher of online hate, I could have spent hours. But I had 10 minutes, so I had to be focused

The title was "The Myths About Social Media"

Here is what I said👇

Something not prominent in the paper: we found few quantitative studies of political expression on social media that focus on political and social identity groups (race, gender etc.) or use intergroup theory. Tremendous room for growth here...
