Hi there, after a very successful APSA meeting in Vancouver, ITP has some announcements to make:

FACT: The best panels at APSA are always on Sunday. THEREFORE: Attend APSA's best panels today! #APSA2025 #misinformation #harm #AI #publicopinion

#News #AI #war #theUN #misinformation and #surveillance. It is a full day of #saturdayfun at #apsa2025

#APSA2025 is what's happening. Today's ITP menu is spicy tech with a side of #platforms, #AI, public #engagement, #celebrities, #polarization, and of course APSA's future number one most important topic...authoritarianism.

Let's get ready to #APSA2025 people. If you have not been to an @apsaitp.bsky.social panel, it is time to rethink your life choices. The ITP section is chockablock full of wonderful people and research. We also specialize in non-obnoxious uses of presentation software and interesting memes.
