Did you know

In 2019, ISI's Emilio Ferrara's work influenced the creation of California's Senate Bill 1001, the nation's first "bot" disclosure law, requiring bots to reveal their automated nature before influencing users. The bill draws on Ferrara's research on social media bots' role in spreading disinformation and political distortion.
