Looking forward to presenting my research at the #CaltechElectionIntegrityConf2025!
We rely on survey-linked web browsing data to evaluate exposure to election fraud content and the durability of fraud beliefs.

Another thing bothering me about the Zuckerberg statement -- the assertion that fact-checkers have “destroyed more trust than they created." FCers are obviously imperfect and have made mistakes, but most of what people hear about them is ax-grinding by conservative elites, not fair-minded critiques

Ils soulignent l’importance de combiner diverses approches et de renforcer la confiance dans les institutions afin d’assurer la légitimité et l’efficacité des interventions auprès des publics cibles.

Ces résultats sont cohérents avec mes autres projets en cours, qui montrent que les personnes adhérant à la mésinformation sont aussi significativement moins susceptibles de s’exposer à la vérification des faits.

Finalement, l’appui est aussi significativement moins élevé parmi ceux adhérant à la mésinformation, les principales personnes visées par ces interventions, qui pourraient voir ces interventions comme une tentative des élites de dissimuler la vérité.

L’opposition s’explique aussi, plus directement, par un faible niveau de confiance dans le gouvernement, les médias et les scientifiques, un faible niveau de préoccupation par rapport à l’enjeu et une tendance à prioriser la défense de la liberté d’expression à la lutte contre la mésinformation.

Le niveau d’opposition est plus élevé parmi ceux ayant une idéologie très à droite ou appuyant le Parti conservateur du Québec, dénotant une politisation similaire (quoique à moindre échelle) à celle observée aux États-Unis.

Une forte majorité de Québécois.es (plus de 70 %) sont favorables à la modération de contenu sur les médias sociaux et à des mesures gouvernementales plus fortes pour lutter contre la mésinformation.

Has anyone merged Twitter handles onto the Lin et al. domain quality ratings or an equivalent dataset and would be willing to share them with a postdoc?
