Even with the existing algorithm, the baseline proportions are quite low: In the default feed, the average share of users' feeds in our sample containing posts from untrustworthy sources was 2.6% on FB; for uncivil posts, 3.2%; for slur words: .03%. And even less on IG. 11/

TL;DR: We pre-registered, outside researchers had final say, and Meta committed not to block the publication of findings they didn't like (they kept their promise). Both Meta and the outside academic research team took user privacy very seriously. 5/

What did we find? 1. ENGAGEMENT: The chrono feed decreased the time users spent on the platforms (by about 20% on FB and 11% on IG). Engagement on the platforms also went down. 8/ [image]

Unless Facebook delivers promised data to researchers by Sept. 30, consortium of funders will recommend Social Science Research Council wind down the project
