6/ This is a whole load of anxiety for those interested in #fakenews (at least for me). But having more insight on this would at least help us to know where we stand.

Happy to announce that my paper on #disinformation was just published in Computers in Human Behavior! 📰😃😃 https://t.co/bI7Iciy47j

5/ In short, this opens a whole bag of issues that we really are not that well equipped to deal with. So maybe we should start thinking about: Which behaviors can be covertly manipulated? How? How long can these effects last? How should we counter it?

@PippaN15 @SenateGOP Sounds good. Thanks :)

@zittrain Thanks for sharing. I'm currently writing an article on teaching digital democracy. Maybe a silly question, but do you expect students to read all those docs for each class? Assign sections? Divide the docs up and have students explain their docs? Just lecture the whole thing?
