Absolutely crucial piece of research on misinformation in local news on Facebook, X and Nextdoor by @smfthinktank.bsky.social Full report is here (www.smf.co.uk/publications...) but these are some key findings:
Everyone on X and elsewhere who called for a violent response should be charged with incitement.
Everyone involved in the pogrom should be locked up with exemplary sentences.
Govt should make it clear that will be the response in future anywhere else.
Enough.
For #socialmobilityday I've written about socio-economic access in the think tank sector, as well as what the @smfthinktank.bsky.social is doing to help break down barriers (but, as with much of the sector, we still have work to do!)
