About me
Prior to working for the WMF I specialised in research on tackling online disinformation and extremism. I worked as part of a team advising multiple social media platforms on how best to build policies countering disinformation campaigns, particularly around elections and medical issues.
My work
At the WMF I research how disinformation affects Wikipedia projects so that we can best understand how to support Wikipedia communities in countering the threat of disinformation campaigns.
Disclaimer: I work for or provide services to the Wikimedia Foundation, and this is the account I try to use for edits or statements I make in that role. However, the Foundation does not vet all my activity, so edits, statements, or other contributions made by this account may not reflect the views of the Foundation.
