🧪 Happy to contribute to the Palgrave Encyclopedia of Cyberpsychology with an entry, co-authored with @jasonnurse.bsky.social and @hooklee.bsky.social. We briefly overviewed #misinformation research, covering its history, psychological aspects, detection and mitigation, regulation, and open issues.

My latest paper is now out in the Journal of Documentation! "Triple Trouble: Rethinking the Framing of Problematic Information" proposes a multidimensional framework for understanding problematic information through veracity, misleadingness, and harmfulness.

My PhD thesis is now publicly available following the completion of its embargo period. It explores the fact-checking ecosystem, focusing on its modelling and the development of semi-automated, stakeholder-based approaches to detecting false information. Full text 👉 kar.kent.ac.uk/108725/

This new decentralised verification approach on Bluesky sounds a good idea although its success depends on how Trusted Verifiers will be selected. I think it could be enhanced to enable organisational accounts to verify their employee's accounts with a separate badge/label showing the affiliation.

Selecting a few of the recommendations from our National Academies report on science misinformation to highlight. Recommendation 2 is simply that universities & researchers need better procedures for publicizing research. There should be accountability for overhyping science.

Check out listifications.app (aka @listifications.app). If you follow that account it automatically sends you a DM every time someone adds you to a list or Starter Pack. Fun to see randos blocking you as "fash" or "scum" while others add you to lists of "journalists" or "fact checkers" :-)

I like the idea of using "information integrity" as an umbrella term. One reason is that it emphasises that information disorder is a cyber security issue since integrity is a key principle of cyber security.

Misinformation? Disinformation? What's the difference? A very simple and festive explainer. 🎅 Credit: 🎨 @felixuncia.bsky.social 🧠 @brentlee.bsky.social

A festive two tile comic strip illustrating the difference between misinformation and disinformation.

Tile A: Disinformation.
Scene: Christmas morning in the living room. A child looking at wrapped Christmas present which seems to have the outline of a bicycle. Parents stood in the background are telling the child "It's from Santa Claus!".

Tile B: Misinformation
Scene: Later that day, the child is riding his new bike outside. While passing his three friends standing on the sidewalk, he shouts "It's from Santa Claus!".

We are seeing more deepfakes than ever before, and the situation will only worsen over time, even if we are flying in #BlueSky 😄 So, let's get "deeper" into deepfakes 🧵 #deepfake #cheapfake #misinformation

#Misinformation is a global issue, yet its dynamics vary by country. So, we need more local groups to better grasp the country-specific dynamics. With this in mind, here's a localised starter pack with #Turkish actors. Hope we can have more such packs for different countries. go.bsky.app/8m37FHz

The COVID-19 #pandemic ended, but the #infodemic never ends! I believe how we can protect ourselves from the infodemic is similar to what we've done during the pandemic: 1️⃣ Hygiene🧴 2️⃣ Mask 😷 3️⃣ Social Distance 🚫 Here's a thread on how🧵

While my starter pack is growing with new members, it is (and will be) certainly incomplete. So, I suggest checking out other similar starter packs by searching on blueskydirectory.com (Thanks @mubashariqbal.com for this amazing service). As an example, those including "Misinformation" are below 👇
