New preprint out! Do web search engines contribute to the spread of conspiracy theories? [Yes, some] Does it matter if one uses Google or DuckDuckGo to search for "flat earth" or "9/11"? [Yes, it does!] We answer these and other questions here arxiv.org/pdf/2112.01278… Short🧵👇1/4 With Mykola Makhortykh (@ikmb_unibe), Roberto Ulloa (@gesis_org) & @juhi153 (@UniKonstanz) we find the % of conspiratorial content varies widely across search engines. Google has "conspiracy-free" results but Yandex has very high shares (>50%) of conspiracy-promoting results 2/4

Ahead of the #RussiaProtests of yesterday many were amazed by the overwhelming amount of political content on Russian #Tiktok. I’ve been gathering some data on this (saw some people were interested @oonuch @Marielle_W_ ), sharing some (very prelim) highlights in the thread Please read and interpret with caution: 1) the analysis is prelim (I will do more and hope to share some more insights at this virtual event on Feb 1 harriman.columbia.edu/virtual-event-… organized by @HarrimanInst)
