Staatliche Kommunikation ist keine gewöhnliche Werbung, sondern Teil der demokratischen Grundversorgung. Wenn Regierung und Behörden sich an Plattformen binden, die Hass, Desinformation und intransparente Algorithmen dulden oder fördern, stärken sie Strukturen, die demokratische Öffentlichkeit beschädigen.
Ein Ausstieg aus X ist das notwendige Signal, dass demokratische Werte und Grundrechte Vorrang vor kurzfristiger, vermeintlicher Reichweite haben.
Besser kann man es nicht sagen:
Staatliche Institutionen in Deutschland haben nichts auf X verloren.

Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design.

An interactive Shiny app on party positions using the CHES (Chapel HIll expert survey dataset).
For my course on Conflict and Representation in the EU, I made an interactive Shiny app that plots CHES party positions, for all countries, years (1999-2024) and (most) dimensions in the dataset. Enjoy!

Three schematic diagrams. The first illustrates selective publishing of internal resection, the second selective causal focus, and the third selective access and funding for researchers.
1. We ( @jbakcoleman.bsky.social, @cailinmeister.bsky.social, @jevinwest.bsky.social, and I) have a new preprint up on the arXiv.
There we explore how social media companies and other online information technology firms are able to manipulate scientific research about the effects of their products.

Das Bild zeigt das Cover der Zeitschrift „WZB Mitteilungen – Quartalsheft für Sozialforschung“. Der Hintergrund ist ein klarer blauer Himmel. Rechts oben schwebt ein großer Luftballon in Form eines Baby-Darstellung einer bekannten politischen Figur mit orangefarbener Haut und gelben Haaren, der einen wütenden Gesichtsausdruck zeigt. Unten links befindet sich ein weißes Textfeld mit den Ausgabeninformationen: Ausgabe 3|25, September 2025, sowie die Webseite „wzb.eu“ in grün. Darunter steht der Titel des Hefts „Weltordnung“ und die Unterthemen „Regeln“, „Krieg“ und „China“.
Hochaktuell sind die neuen WZB-Mitteilungen zum Thema Weltordnung, denn die Regeln, nach denen das globale Zusammenleben über Jahrzehnte funktionierte, gelten nicht mehr. Ein Heft über Krieg & Frieden, über Demokratie, Profit & Wissenschaft, über China, Amerika und die EU.

Sozialpolitik: Wer wenig hat, ist in ihren Augen selbst schuld
Mehr Sozialstaat könnte den Aufstieg der Rechtspopulisten bremsen, heißt es oft. Umfragen zeigen aber: Die Wähler der AfD verstehen unter Gerechtigkeit etwas anderes.
Mehr Sozialstaat und eine "antifaschistische Wirtschaftspolitik" werden häufig als Mittel gegen den AfD-Erfolg genannt. Doch was ist dran an der These & welche Sozialpolitik wünschen sich die AfD-Wähler tatsächlich? Eine Datenanalyse von @schieritz.bsky.social und mir.
