CAMAP reports:
Today, New York University’s Center for Social Media and Politics (CSMaP), with the support of a $350,000 gift from Craig Newmark Philanthropies, is excited to launch our new, multilingual research infrastructure to monitor how the spread of disinformation across social media platforms will impact the upcoming U.S. elections.
There's more:
We are incredibly grateful to Craig Newmark for his generous donation helping us launch this project, which will run through the 2022 midterms. We will be seeking additional funding to support the project through 2024. Newmark’s ongoing support — including $929,000 to help launch CSMaP in 2019 and $400,000 to support graduate student research in 2020 — has been vital to our work examining how social media impacts politics, policy, and democracy.
The vanguard of America's left is people like billionaire Craig Newmark. Just a reminder.
