So exciting to _finally_ get to talk about the US 2020 FB and IG Election Project!. A few notes from my perspective as a methodological collaborator kind of on the border between the academic and the Meta teams. 🧵.

To assert democratic control over large online platforms we need rigorous impact assessments like the US2020 project. This is the only way we can make sure we respond to the real societal harms they may cause.
Do Facebook, Instagram and co. lead to polarisation?. @DrewDim debunks this myth: deactivating accounts before the 2020 US election had little effect on political polarisation. People who logged off were even less likely to believe misinformation. 🔗

Tired: constant marginal effects. Wired: maximum marginal effects at p=0.5. Inspired: add a parameter for where marginal effects are maximized. Are they not teaching the kids about scobit these days? Embarrassing.

Using the reframing of "the Algorithm" to "the Apparatus" should shape how we evaluate what it is/does

🚨New ISR Paper Alert🚨with @DrewDim . 🔍Using large-scale randomized experiments, we've observed significant differences between ML-based HTE estimates and difference-in-means estimates. 🛠️Our paper introduces a two-step framework to diagnose and rectify these discrepancies.
