Not all bystanders respond to online political hostility in the same way. This paper shows how personality shapes whether German Facebook users confront abuse with counterspeech or quietly mute and unfriend.

On March 15, 2026, @Communalytic.org is rolling out a huge upgrade with advanced AI, GPU-powered visuals, streamlined workflows, and new collaboration and teaching features built for research teams and classrooms alike. communalytic.org/2026/02/18/c...
New & OA w/ @lutzid.bsky.social in @icsjournal.bsky.social: The role of personality in bystander reactions to online pol. hostility. We find that both active (counterspeech) & passive (silencing) reactions negatively relate to agreeableness & conscientiousness 1/3 www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
Propensity for impression management, mostly in assertive or confrontative manner (often independent of political interest), predicts political engagement on Facebook, German research by @cphoffmann.bsky.social & @lutzid.bsky.social suggests:

This is nuts. Too much money is going to specific grants about AI and STEM, and all the others need to fight for scraps.
We need more funding for social sciences and the arts immediately.
Our paper “The scale of artificial intelligence literacy for all (SAIL4ALL)” is out!
🎉We (@angulobrunet.bsky.social , @lutzid.bsky.social and I) present a new tool to assess AI literacy in the general adult population. Find it open at:

📢 New OA article with @lutzid.bsky.social 🚨 Online politics are often criticized as performative. We examine the role of impression management in political expression on Facebook – and find some interesting relationships re. age, gender and political interest 👇

1. In the editorial we introduce the special issue and the Comparative Privacy Research Framework (CPRF) as a conceptual foundation for context-sensitive #privacy research.
Editorial: journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1...
CPRF: doi.org/10.1080/0197...
New special issue, "Comparative Approaches to Studying Privacy," edited by #CPRN is now published in Social Media + Society!

New paper!! Hermann Wigers and I used OpenAI to generate and analyse 11,800 stories "from" 236 countries: Norwegian stories, Chinese stories, American stories, etc. We found that GPT-4o-mini tells the same story over and over. open-research-europe.ec.europa.eu/articles/5-2...
New article on privacy protection behavior, using a large sample (3K) survey of Italians conducted in 2022. Very relevant for those who study privacy and digital inequality. journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....
