Very cool experiment on how different fact-checking labels on social media affect on-platform behaviours amongst a sample prone to encounter political misinformation, with important results by @lsegovernment.bsky.social PhD candidate @isoldehegemann.bsky.social 👇
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.
