On the 3rd of September, our doctoral researcher, Miriam Milzner, participated in the 6th Multidisciplinary Symposium on Disinformation in Open Online Media (MISDOOM) held at the University of Münster, Germany. This event brought together an international community of disinformation researchers from diverse fields, including communication science, computer science, computational social science, political communication, and media studies.
Miriam Milzner (Freie Universität/Weizenbaum Institute) presented her work “Coordinated Social Media Manipulation: State of the Art,” co-authored with Daniel Thiele and Baoning Gong (both Freie Universität/Weizenbaum Institute). The systematic literature review scrutinizes the emerging yet unsystematic research field of Coordinated Social Media Manipulation, mapping the identified actors and behavior types of these campaigns within platform-specific contexts and examining interaction patterns among target audiences. The review highlights critical research gaps and suggests directions for more systematic and nuanced studies on CSMM and behavioral disinformation campaigns.
