Social media users’ actions, rather than biased policies, could drive differences in platform enforcement.
Researchers from MIT Sloan School of Management , the University of Oxford, Cornell University , and Yale University found that politically conservative users tend to share misinformation at a greater volume than politically liberal users.
This could explain why conservatives were suspended more frequently.
Social media users analyzed in this research are not representative of Americans more broadly.
Even under politically neutral anti-misinformation policies, the researchers expect that there would be political asymmetries in enforcement.
Policy makers need to be aware that even if social media companies are working in an unbiased way to manage misinformation on their platforms, there will still be some level of differential treatment across groups.
