This digital twin, or ‘what-if machine’, can be used to test the effects of policy and regulatory interventions in the realm of (social) media quality and regulation on democratic citizenship. Besides the likely societal impact, the project will also contribute to novel computational social science methodology. Fundament supported the consortium in translating their innovative ideas into a competitive proposal.
