It is possible to evaluate how much algorithmic systems amplify violating content.
@sahar we are started to experiment with the MAF metric during the ongoing Digital Media Initiative Summer School on Digital Methods in Amsterdam (/cc @GiadaM)
@fabiogiglietto @GiadaM woah!!! Please email me more about this. [email protected]
@sahar @GiadaM one of the goals of @veraai project is to estimate the algorithmic amplification of problematic content. The task just started and is led by Richard Rogers's team at the University of Amsterdam. For the summer school @GiadaM facilitated a project that measured the MAF on Facebook for a set of URLs that was fact-checked as false by TPFC
@GiadaM @veraai @fabiogiglietto I would love to loop in Jeff on this. Can we move to email?
@sahar @veraai @fabiogiglietto Certainly, I will send an email shortly with more details!
