Exposure to the Russian Internet Research Agency foreign influence campaign on Twitter in the 2016 US election and its relationship to attitudes and voting behavior

Gregory Eady et al.

Summary: This study uses longitudinal survey data and Twitter data of US respondents to quantify the relationship between exposure to the Russian foreign influence campaign and attitudes and voting behavior in the 2016 US election. The results show that exposure to Russian disinformation accounts was primarily concentrated among strongly identified Republican users, with only 1% of users accounting for 70% of exposures. Furthermore, the influence of the Russian campaign was overshadowed by content from domestic news media and politicians. Importantly, no meaningful relationship was found between exposure to the Russian foreign influence campaign and changes in attitudes, polarization, or voting behavior.

Assembling the Networks and Audiences of Disinformation: How Successful Russian IRA Twitter Accounts Built Their Followings, 2015-2017

Yini Zhang et al.

Summary: This study investigates how successful Russian Internet Research Agency (IRA) Twitter accounts constructed followings for their disinformation campaigns around the 2016 U.S. presidential election. The results show that partisan enclaves and media amplification played key roles in boosting IRA accounts' followers, illustrating how network dynamics within social media and news media together contributed to the growth of social media followings. The findings also underscore the dynamics fueling the spread of disinformation, including partisan polarization, media fragmentation and asymmetry, and an attention economy focused on engagement rather than accuracy.
