As of just now, AskHistorians has taken its forums offline to protest @Reddit's policies regarding API and third-party developers. You may well be thinking: why has such a dry-sounding issue managed to spark one of the largest user revolts in social media history? Well... 🧵

In this study we focused on web search, which is understudied relative to social media, and measured user choice as “engagement”—the URLs people interact with on the web or within a platform—and algorithmic curation as “exposure”—what users were shown while visiting a platform.

The trolling in response to this - including misogynistic slurs, threatening and hateful messages - are just more proof of why investigating this is so important. Welcome trolls and stay tuned for my latest Radio 4 podcast, more upcoming investigations - and Undercover Voters.
Welcome to BBC Verify! I chatted to BBC Breakfast about it. Everything from interrogating social media feeds using undercover accounts and investigating real-world impact of mistruths, hate and conspiracy movements to piecing together what’s happening with satellite imagery.

In an era of rapidly evolving technology, we need to decouple *jobs* from *identity.* Instead of asking kids “what do you want to be when you grow up?”, ask them what problems they want to solve, what skills they hope to learn and what creative ways they hope to change the world.

I was in a state of shock after being hit...quite literally ...but also shocked that this could happen to me- a vocal, professional advocate against #hate, #racism and #Islamophobia. This is literally what we do at the @CMW_KW2010 - We help victims report hate & get supports /3
