Research Overview
Drs. Sarita Schoenebeck (School of Information), Eric Gilbert (School of Information) and Jenny Radesky (Pediatrics) develop an automated system to continuously track how misinformation starts and spreads on Twitter and how harassment spreads in Reddit communities. They will then generate scripts to counter misinformation and harassment, and use a randomized, controlled trial to assess the effectiveness of their intervention.
