This is especially harmful for minority groups and underrepresented populations, as they tend to be the target of </span><a href="https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/Papers.cfm?abstract_id=3149103"><span>misinformation-motivated vitriol</span></a><span>. The combination of both misinformation and racist discourse makes political talk more toxic, </span><a href="https://tsjournal.org/index.php/jots/article/download/13/5"><span>increasing intolerance and polarization</span></a><span>.</span></p><p><span>But current efforts to moderate racist misinformation have been </span><a href="https://www.scu.edu/ethics/all-about-ethics/social-media-and-content-moderation-why-dangerous-individuals-and-organizations-policies/"><span>insufficient at addressing this problem</span></a><span>. From a policy perspective, U.S. federal regulations such as </span><a href="https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/47/230"><span>Section 230 under the Communications Decency Act</span></a><span> have made it easier for social media platforms to be opaque about their content moderation policies. Stronger digital rights efforts in Europe, such as the recently implemented </span><a href="https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/policies/digital-services-act-package"><span>Digital Services Act</span></a><span>, may compel platforms to more fully disclose how they moderate harmful digital content, use algorithms to recommend content, and serve advertisements programmatically to users.</span></p><p><span>Our research studying misinformation and racist language on multiple social media platforms suggests that this unwanted content persists, across both mainstream and alternative social media platforms. On Parler especially, we find that the combination of misinformation and racist language is used to criticize opposition politicians or to advance fear-based conspiracy theories.</span></p><p><span>While it is not clear whether U.S. legislators will enact tighter controls as Europe has done, public figures and citizens alike have expressed frustration with social media platforms' current tactics. Two key challenges make it especially difficult for citizens to trust social media platforms: first, </span><a href="https://www.aclu.org/news/free-speech/time-and-again-social-media-giants-get-content-moderation-wrong-silencing-speech-about-al-aqsa-mosque-is-just-the-latest-example"><span>ambiguity</span></a><span> regarding content moderation strategies and algorithmic use, and second, </span><a href="https://www.wired.com/story/what-even-is-coordinated-inauthentic-behavior-on-platforms/"><span>inconsistency</span></a><span> regarding how content moderation policies are enforced.</span></p><p><span>Based on this, </span><a href="https://utexas.box.com/s/afle7fobyw130ef0yorrqcqmiyy9k0ez"><span>our policy brief</span></a><span> proposes the following four solutions. First, platforms should be more transparent with users about their content moderation policies, particularly with regards to what aspects are automated and what proportion of content is human-moderated. All terms of services, inclusive of both data access and user permissions, should be plainly written and unambiguous to clarify the users’ basic rights on the platform.</span></p><p><span>Second, we advocate for a flagging recommendation system to remove misinformation or racist content that includes both human moderators and algorithmic filtering. While substantial efforts have been made with flagging systems in English, misinformation and hate speech  in other languages (e.g. Spanish, Mandarin, and Hindi) receive far less </span><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/10/12/business/media/midterms-foreign-language-misinformation.html"><span>moderation attention</span></a><span>, allowing harmful content to thrive.</span></p><p><span>Third, social media platforms should collaborate to remove malicious actors, including misinformation spreaders and disinformation agents. Sharing data about misinformation spreaders will make it easier for each platform to detect and remove misinformation and racist language before it spreads amongst a network. To build a more robust content moderation effort, platforms can also collaborate with policy makers, civil society groups, and researchers, as well as a range of social media serving non-English communities.</span></p><p><span>Last, but certainly not least, social media platforms need to track misinformation for a prolonged period of time. The period after an election can be rife with </span><a href="https://www.propublica.org/article/facebook-hosted-surge-of-misinformation-and-insurrection-threats-in-months-leading-up-to-jan-6-attack-records-show"><span>misinformation, racist discourse, and calls for violence</span></a><span>. Rather than tracking misinformation and hate speech in the short-term, efforts should be made to track them for a much longer period of time. This is especially important for finding </span><a href="https://www.npr.org/2021/05/13/996570855/disinformation-dozen-test-facebooks-twitters-ability-to-curb-vaccine-hoaxes"><span>super-spreaders</span></a><span>: those who post a prolific amount of content with misinformation or racist language. This can also include super-spreader bot accounts. Of the roughly 38,000 accounts with racist content we studied on Parler, we found that approximately 5% were bots and that their automated posting can have a particularly outsized impact on the spread of these types of malicious content.</span></p><p><span>These recommendations are built on a body of research studying the spread of misinformation and racist discourse across multiple social media platforms.</span></p><p><em><span lang="EN" xml:lang="EN" xml:lang="EN">This research was conducted as part of the Good Systems project, </span></em><a

</span><a href="https://www.disinfoday.com/"><span>Disinformation Day</span></a><span> hosted by Good Systems’ </span><a href="https://bridgingbarriers.utexas.edu/good-systems/projects/designing-responsible-ai-technologies-to-curb-disinformation"><span>“Designing Responsible AI Technologies to Curb Disinformation”</span></a><span> research team. Approximately 150 attendees from across the globe came together virtually to discuss challenges and opportunities in curbing the spread of digital disinformation. Thought leaders representing a range of disciplines and sectors examined the needs of fact checkers, explored issues of bias, fairness, and justice in mis- and disinformation, and outlined next steps for addressing these pressing issues together.</span></p><p><span>The event began with remarks from <strong>Dr. Dhiraj Murthy</strong> (School of Journalism and Media) and <strong>Dr.</strong> <strong>Matthew Lease</strong> (School of Information), who co-lead the Good Systems project. "This inaugural Disinfo Day event serves as a call to action around two key themes in mis-/dis- information studies: fact checking and bias and fairness in annotation and labeled data,” said Murthy.</span></p><p><span><strong>Dr. David Corney, </strong>data scientist and engineer at FullFact, a company that examines news claims and asks media outlets to publish corrections, delivered a keynote on </span><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Z3YbSPpYLY&amp;list=PLIil3TfyMHXT5d8_O4mM5tNzY9pjHS56V&amp;index=2&amp;t=3s"><span>“How AI Can Help Fact Checkers Fight Bad Information.”</span></a><span><strong> </strong>In the address, Corney emphasized that “Bad information ruins lives,” and that it’s important for society that everyone receives the best information possible. He suggested that one way to approach the challenge of volume is asking, “What is the most important claim to fact check each day?” and “How can we increase the impact of our work (reach as many people as possible with positive impact)?” He shared that finding claims to be true can be just as useful as finding claims to be false in helping the public to navigate the massive amount of information around politics, pandemics, and more. Looking ahead to new tool development, Corney urged, “It’s essential to speak to users at every stage of development.”</span></p> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'responsive_embed' --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'modules/contrib/url_embed/templates/responsive-embed.html.twig' --> <div class="responsive-embed" style="padding-bottom: 56.5%"><iframe width="200" height="113" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/8Z3YbSPpYLY?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen="" title="Welcome &amp; Keynote Address &quot;How AI Can Help Fact Checkers Fight Bad Information&quot;"></iframe></div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'modules/contrib/url_embed/templates/responsive-embed.html.twig' --> <p> </p><p><span>Building upon the discussion, <strong>Dr. Greg Durrett </strong>(Computer Science) moderated the panel </span><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qx9O4HzGf8g&amp;list=PLIil3TfyMHXT5d8_O4mM5tNzY9pjHS56V&amp;index=4"><span>“New Frontiers in Tools for Fact Checkers”</span></a><span> featuring Corney and <strong>Dr. Scott Hale </strong>and <strong>Shalini Joshi</strong> of Meedan, a global technology nonprofit that builds tools to help fact checkers and to increase equitable access to quality information while reducing harms like hate speech and misinformation. Durrett shared that while natural language processing and tools like large neural networks have progressed, they haven’t necessarily advanced in alignment with what fact checkers really need. He asked the panel, "What are tools out there that can be useful? And how can we better meet the needs of folks that are working in fact-checking?" Panelists discussed challenges including an ever-changing media landscape and the need for real-time data; a gap between academic researchers and practitioners; expanding tools and models into more languages; a lack of tools for effectively coding images, memes, and videos; and building forum for coalitions of fact checkers, academic researchers, lawyers, and stakeholders to tackle urgent challenges together. All panelists underscored that collaboration is key to moving forward and making the progress we collectively wish to see. “…there is a need for people developing tools and products to work together with fact checkers to help them be more efficient and engage with their audiences and for researchers to do so as well,” said Joshi. “We need fact checkers, researchers, developers, and product people coming together to look at the challenges and find solutions.”</span></p><p><span>Moving into the final panel of the day, <strong>Dr. Maria De-Arteaga</strong> (Information, Risk, and Operation Management) led a discussion on “Bias/Fairness in Dis-/Misinformation Studies” featuring <strong>Angie Holan</strong>, editor-in-chief of fact-checking news outlet PolitiFact, and researchers <strong>Dr. Rachel Moran</strong> and <strong>Dr. Sukrit Venkatagiri</strong> of the University of Washington’s Center for an Informed Public. De-Arteaga asked panelists to consider, “What does it mean to think about risks of bias?” and “What does it mean to think about fairness in the context of misinformation detection?” Panelists discussed that a commitment to accuracy is essential in mitigating personal biases as is including multiple, diverse perspectives in news stories and fact-checking processes. Venkatagiri prompted the audience to consider shifting to a justice-oriented perspective, focusing not only on </span><em><span>how many </span></em><span>people are impacted by misinformation but </span><em><span>who</span></em><span> is most affected and most needs help, considering the power dynamics at play. While panelists acknowledged challenges such as overcoming widespread mistrust in science and academic work related to elections, deeply embedded biases, and the need to better measure the disproportionate impact misinformation has on different populations, all remained optimistic about the future, citing new work and initiatives nationwide dedicated to curbing the spread of mis- and disinformation. “There has been so much progress on fighting misinformation over the past several years that I’m actually quite hopeful,” said Holan, “…we are seeing, across society, concern about misinformation and how to have positive standards of information on the internet and on social media. Even though things seem somewhat gloomy and there’s a lot of misinformation out there, I actually feel optimistic that awareness has increased exponentially and we’re starting to see these various innovative projects trying out new solutions.”</span></p><p><span>Concluding the event, <strong>Dr. Josephine Lukito </strong>(School of Journalism and Media) </span><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XKm2OQ5vKQ0&amp;list=PLIil3TfyMHXT5d8_O4mM5tNzY9pjHS56V&amp;index=6"><span>summarized key takeaways and calls to action</span></a><span>. She reiterated the call for collaboration, a topic that came up in every session, and for spaces like the one created by Disinformation Day, virtually and in-person, for people to engage across disciplines and across academia, industry, and civil society to help curb the spread of mis- and disinformation.</span></p><p><span>Lukito also called for participants to come together to address needs identified throughout the discussion, including:</span></p><ul><li><span>Building generalizable and equity- and justice-driven fact checking tools</span></li><li><span>More fact checking resources in languages other than English</span></li><li><span>More fact checking resources for video and multimedia</span></li><li><span>More cross-platform disinformation detection</span></li><li><span>More tools to address misinformation that spreads via ephemeral content (like livestreams that disappear or get deleted)</span></li><li><span>Resources that benefit the public at large (“Don't let things sit in academic papers.”) </span><ul><li><span>Media literacy and public engagement resources to ensure that academic research is accessible to the public</span></li></ul></li><li><span>Increased collaboration between academic researchers, fact checkers, industry professionals, lawyers, policymakers, and nonprofit organizations</span></li></ul><p><span><strong>Visit the </strong></span><a href="https://www.disinfoday.com/"><span><strong>Disinformation Day</strong></span></a><span><strong> website to learn more, stay connected, and view recordings from the event.

The notion of the “system” invokes an information environment with many moving parts.

The research team examines the emotional flows along the campaign timeline, emotion-based strategies of the Russian trolls that masked left- and right-leaning identities, and emotion in messages projecting to or about African American identity and representation.  </p> <p><em>Insights </em></p> <p>Findings show sentiment strategies that differ between Facebook and Twitter, with strong

55 years of age) engages and reacts to social media content.  This constituency has been identified in research as especially vulnerable to believing and circulating disinformation.  Now that we understand something about the structure of disinformation content, its appeals, and how platform affordances aid its circulation among this constituency, we need to enable this aging population to use social media responsibly. This project will do this in three ways. </p> <p paraeid="{86bebde7-42e7-42c1-a99b-04bfe3329dfd}{4}" paraid="221566240">First, our research will investigate what kinds of disinformation is most widely believed by older adults what the qualities are of those messages. Second, we will investigate some of the digital barriers that older adults face and develop training to assist them in evaluating social media messages, with a particular focus on health messaging related to the coronavirus. Third, we will host a conference to highlight the ways various countries have taken steps to curb disinformation. We will highlight the most productive approaches for redressing misinformation among older adults around the world and share policy recommendations within the US security and policy structures.  </p> <p paraeid="{86bebde7-42e7-42c1-a99b-04bfe3329dfd}{20}" paraid="148956743">These approaches will enable us to expand knowledge about how dis- and misinformation operate in social media environments, how platform regulations or AI might be tailored to counter these problems, and how older adults might be trained to improve their social media encounters. </p> <p class="paragraph"><span
