Twitter Needs a “Terms of Sharing”
Recently, some colleagues (wonderful team of @MCForelle, @saiphchen, @andresmh) and I came together to study the impact of bots on political life in Venezuela. There have been multiple stories over the years about the government there using automated scripts to manipulate public conversation over twitter. But after a query from an AP correspondent I found I couldn’t point any good studies of the impact of such bots in Venezuela. So we did one, but it was hard.
