[Jo(sephine) Lukito @JosephineLukito]

Digital media research is changing, and it can make it that much harder to study elections, as @m_dot_brown and I argue in our new @techpolicypress piece.

🚨So proud of this piece! In this report, I cover the current state of ethics for digital platform studies.

tl;dr - there's no one unified approach to digital research ethics.

Check out @m_dot_brown in the @nytimes talking about gateway conspiracies

[NYU's Center for Social Media, AI, and Politics @CSMAP_NYU]

Yes, Titanic conspiracy theories may seem relatively harmless. But the concern is a longer-term erosion of the truth.

“People who believe in at least one conspiracy theory tend to believe in at least more than one," @m_dot_brown tells @nytimes.
