Dear Colleagues, I am just sharing an article I published today in Wired. After many headlines on the scale of 'disinfo for sale' University of Oxford recent study offering useful insight for policymakers into its growth? I say no. A high profile study into disinformation by influential Oxford Internet Institute scholars which has been in the headlines worldwide in the last month is misleading, poorly researched and misreported: 'The Grim Consequences of a Misleading Study on Disinformation <https://www.wired.com/story/opinion-the-grim-consequences-of-a-misleading-study-on-disinformation/> .' I hope you will find it illuminating and helpful for students too who are trying to understand this phenomenon.
