My new paper with Margarita Zavadskaya is out in @poppublicsphere.bsky.social! Since 2022, the Kremlin has turned pseudo fact checking into a key propaganda strategy. But how does it affect citizens? We run an experiment to answer this Q (10/): doi.org/10.1017/S153...

Reading the news from #Iran. Grim. What autocracies can do to protesters, especially after cutting the internet, terrifies me about the future in Iran and far far beyond. Other tyrants are watching, learning, and will do the same if it suits them
