How deceptive online networks reached millions in the US 2020 elections

Abstract Deceptive online networks are coordinated efforts that use identity deception to pursue strategic political or financial goals. During the US 2020 elections, these networks reached at least 37 million Facebook and 3 million Instagram users, representing 15% and 2% of the platforms’ active US adult users, respectively. Only 3 networks out of 49—1 network with explicitly political aims and 2 that appeared to use politics as a lure for profit—were responsible for over 70% of users reached.

The effects of political advertising on Facebook and Instagram before the 2020 US election - Nature Human Behaviour
|
Abstract We study the effects of social media political advertising by randomizing subsets of 36,906 Facebook users and 25,925 Instagram users to have political ads removed from their news feeds for 6 weeks before the 2020 US presidential election. We show that most presidential ads were targeted towards parties’ own supporters and that fundraising ads were the most common.

The promise and peril of interpersonal political communication

The Best Books on Social Media and Political Polarization

Why Two California Billionaires Should Buy Newspapers | Zócalo Public Square
Joe Mathews pens a letter to billionaires Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg. He argues that it would make sense for the two tech giants to buy their local newspapers, claiming that it might help them rehabilitate their reputations while at the same time performing a public service. Mathews notes that recent billionaire buyouts of struggling papers have restored staffing and investment in news, suggesting that such buyouts are a desired alternative to the rapidly-consolidating local news market.
United States religion in a transnational frame
Readers of Melani McAlister’s new book are treated to an astute examination of the global history of US evangelicalism since the 1950s. McAlister brings her widely recognized skill of transnational analysis to bear on the history of US evangelicals—particularly missionaries—working to make real the centuries-long dream of Christianizing the entire world. McAlister employs three major themes—Networks, Body Politics, and Emotions—to structure the volume.
