This project would not have been possible without the dozens of researchers and journalists who have done incredible work to highlight misinformation on social media and expose online extremist networks. I learned an incalculable amount from the work of Joan Donovan, Rebecca Lewis, Mark Ledwich, Sam Clark, and Emily Gorcenski; reporting from NBC News, Buzzfeed, Nieman Lab, The New York Times, Wired, and The Markup; and research from the Stanford Internet Observatory, Harvard Kennedy School's Misinformation Review, and New York University's Ad Observatory.
