Field notes
The page separates conversation tests from social-post exposures and links to sections for voices, a so-called real-world test, approach, and method. It reports that attacks such as calling voters “gado” or “fascista” hardened support for some participants, while the football conversation provides a nonpolitical comparison point. The figures describe the project's synthetic test; the extract does not establish how those simulated profiles were created or validated.
