Konservativer Anti-Migrationskurs befeuert die AfD Wenn konservative Kräfte die Narrative von Rechtspopulisten übernehmen, hilft das den Rechts-Außen-Parteien statt sie zu schwächen. Das zeigt die EU-weite Forschung des Politologen Tarik Abou-Chadi.

Mit WDR 3 Resonanzen habe ich heute über die Aussagen von Friedrich Merz gesprochen, darüber wie sein Kurs die radikale Rechte normalisiert und stärkt und warum er vielleicht mal öfter mit jungen Frauen sprechen sollte.

I ran a simulated social media experiment with 1450 Republicans to test different fact-checking interventions.

AI produced the largest decrease in engagement with Trump misinformation, outperforming independent fact-checkers and doing so far more consistently than Community Notes.
