#BigTech accused of stonewalling #European social media #researchers In the final weeks before Romania’s presidential vote in November 2024, #TikTok accounts that had previously spent years posting about manicures or fashion suddenly started promoting a little-known #politician named #CalinGeorgescu. His posts, espousing hard-line views on #immigration and anti-Semitic tropes, were viewed 120 million times before the vote. #Georgescu, who had previously been polling in the single digits, stunned observers by winning the election’s first round with 23 percent of the vote. #elections #antisemitism #romania #socialmedia

The #Trump admin’s latest concession about the #grants came in a #lawsuit filed by a group of #California #researchers challenging various federal agencies that have canceled #Biden era #funding. After reviewing its spending, the Trump #Energy Dept last fall created a list that recommended canceling >600 grants awarded by the Biden admin for a wide range of novel energy projects. That list included funding for projects in #states represented by both #Republicans & #Democrats. #MafiaState #law

#European researchers want to study social media’s harms but can’t get the data #EU law gives #researchers unprecedented #rights to scrutinize #BigTech. Researchers say #TikTok , X, and #Meta are still deciding who gets to look inside. #Twitter #facebook #instagram #socialmedia #dataanalysis
