- Reposted by Dr. Ashley MattheisThis is one of the worst violations of research ethics I've ever seen. Manipulating people in online communities using deception, without consent, is not "low risk" and, as evidenced by the discourse in this Reddit post, resulted in harm. Great thread from Sarah, and I have additional thoughts. 🧵
- The mods of r/ChangeMyView shared the sub was the subject of a study to test the persuasiveness of LLMs & that they didn't consent. There’s a lot that went wrong, so here’s a 🧵 unpacking it, along with some ideas for how to do research with online communities ethically. tinyurl.com/59tpt988

- Just finished teaching my last session of my 1st semester at Manchester. Whew! It was a rather rollicking dissertation workshop w/ our fab MA cohort. Discussion so lively we ran over for the next lecturer (😳). Sessions like that are the best!!! Great colleagues & students. It's been a 🎉 semester.

- Been (over)thinking about how to start posting my work (by type, date, etc). Given recent misogynist sloganeering, I think this might be if interest. Might be time to write a longer piece connecting then and now. www.fairobserver.com/region/north...

- Hi y'all. New here and happily acclimating to the good place. I wanted to introduce myself: I study digital cultures of extremism with a focus on gender and race. Along with that I think about publics, propaganda, circulation, affect, digital research ethics and researcher safety online.
