While the internet connected millions of individuals, enabling them free speech and sharing of opinions, it also led to misinformation, hate speech and controversies. ​Currently, social media is being manipulated and ideas are being spread uncontrollably online.

Our aim is to study how ideas spread online in order to make this supercharged human communication more productive and less dangerous, and define a new standard for nuanced community discussions.
