Replication Data for: "Did the Musk takeover boost contentious actors on Twitter?
No full textAfter his acquisition of Twitter, Elon Musk pledged to overhaul verification and moderation policies. These events sparked fears of a rise in influence of contentious actors—notably from the political right. I investigate this question by gathering tweet data for accounts that purchased blue-tick verification before and after the Musk takeover. Following the takeover, we see a large increase in post engagement for all users. There is no obvious evidence that blue-tick verification confers an additional engagement boost. But tweet engagement for accounts active in far-right networks out-stripped any increased engagement for general user accounts

Replication Data for: "Kingdom of Trolls? Influence Operations in the Saudi Twittersphere," Journal of Quantitative Description: Digital Media.
No full textSaudi Arabia has one of the highest rates of Twitter penetration in the world. Despite high levels of repression, the platform is frequently used to discuss political topics. Recent disclosures from Twitter have revealed state-backed attempts at distorting the online information environment through influence operations (IOs). A growing body of research has investigated online disinformation and foreign-sponsored IOs in the English-speaking world; but comparatively little is known about online disinformation outside these contexts or about the domestic use of IOs. Using public releases of IO tweets, we investigate the extent of such activity in Saudi Arabia. Benchmarking these tweets to four samples of Saudi Twitter users, we find that engagement with IO accounts was lower than engagement with the average user, but equal to engagement with news accounts. Network analysis reveals that engagement with IO accounts was largely driven by a small number of influential accounts

Replication Data for: Explaining Recruitment to Extremism: A Bayesian Hierarchical Case-Control Approach
No full textWho joins extremist movements? Answering this question is beset by method-
ological challenges as survey techniques are infeasible and selective samples pro-
vide no counterfactual. Recruits can be assigned to contextual units, but this is vulnerable to problems of ecological inference. In this article, we elaborate a tech-
nique that combines survey and ecological approaches. The Bayesian hierarchical case-control design that we propose allows us to identify individual-level and
contextual factors patterning the incidence of recruitment to extremism, while accounting for spatial autocorrelation, rare events, and contamination. We empir-
ically validate our approach by matching a sample of Islamic State (ISIS) fighters from nine MENA countries with representative population surveys enumerated
shortly before recruits joined the movement. High status individuals in their early
twenties with university education were more likely to join ISIS. There is more
mixed evidence for relative deprivation. The accompanying extremeR package
provides functionality for applied researchers to implement our approach
