Contrary to concerns about science disinformation, we do not find effects on misperceptions. Participants were exposed to disinformation on the nitrogen crisis, which was a salient issue at the time. Participants likely already had set attitudes and beliefs on this issue.
Our study suggests that populist and right-wing politicians may benefit from spreading suggestive disinformation by being perceived as more credible by their core voters while avoiding reputation harm among the general population.

What are the effects of disinformation that is not phrased as a blatant claim, but as a question or suggestion?

I just came back from #ICA25! I presented our work on the spread of misinformation during the covid pandemic. I also got to enjoy the great views around Denver 🗻
From text-as-data to sleep data collection, this year‘s #hackica25 in Boulder, CO, was a blast and we‘re proud to say that we‘ve (again) successfully hacked communication science. Thanks to all participants and see y‘all at #ica25 ✨
