petersuber<p>New study: "We use crowd-sourced assessments from X’s <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/CommunityNotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CommunityNotes</span></a> program to examine whether there are partisan differences in the sharing of misleading information. Unlike previous studies, misleadingness here is determined by agreement across a diverse community of platform users, rather than by fact-checkers. We find that 67% more posts by <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Republicans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Republicans</span></a> are flagged as misleading compared to posts by <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Democrats" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Democrats</span></a>."<br><a href="https://osf.io/preprints/psyarxiv/vk5yj_v2" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">osf.io/preprints/psyarxiv/vk5y</span><span class="invisible">j_v2</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Misinformation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Misinformation</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/SocialMedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SocialMedia</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Twitter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Twitter</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/X" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>X</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>USPol</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/USPolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>USPolitics</span></a></p>
