AI总结：
本研究分析了美国超6.5K名州议员在Twitter和FB上的在线可见性，发现发布低可信度内容能增加共和党人关注度，而不文明内容在Twitter上会降低关注，揭示了政治人物在不同平台上的行为差异。
摘要：
民选官员在公共传播中拥有特权角色。与全国性政治家不同，其发布的内容更可能受到以全国性媒体机构为主的健全生态系统的严格审查，而次国家级政治家更可能公开传播有害内容，且受到的媒体审查有限。在本文中，我们分析了影响美国超过6.5K名独特州议员在线可见性的因素，以及他们的可见性如何受到发布低可信度或不文明内容的影响。我们在2020-21年期间对Twitter和Facebook（FB）上的发布情况进行了研究，以分析议员如何在这些平台上与用户互动。结果表明，传播低可信度信息的内容在FB和Twitter上为共和党人吸引了更多用户的关注。相反，在Twitter上发布被认为是不文明的内容会获得较少的关注。在FB上观察到不文明内容的帖子明显稀缺，这可能归因于议员在这些平台上不同的沟通模式。在大多数情况下，这种效应在意识形态最极端的议员中更为明显。我们的研究探讨了州议员对在线政治对话施加的影响，并以Twitter和FB作为案例研究。此外，它揭示了政治行为者在这些平台上行为的差异。本研究有助于更好地理解政治人物在塑造在线政治话语中所扮演的角色。
英文摘要：
Elected officials have privileged roles in public communication. In contrast to national politicians, whose posting content is more likely to be closely scrutinized by a robust ecosystem of nationally focused media outlets, sub-national politicians are more likely to openly disseminate harmful content with limited media scrutiny. In this paper, we analyze the factors that explain the online visibility of over 6.5K unique state legislators in the US and how their visibility might be impacted by posting low-credibility or uncivil content. We conducted a study of posting on Twitter and Facebook (FB) during 2020-21 to analyze how legislators engage with users on these platforms. The results indicate that distributing content with low-credibility information attracts greater attention from users on FB and Twitter for Republicans. Conversely, posting content that is considered uncivil on Twitter receives less attention. A noticeable scarcity of posts containing uncivil content was observed on FB, which may be attributed to the different communication patterns of legislators on these platforms. In most cases, the effect is more pronounced among the most ideologically extreme legislators. Our research explores the influence exerted by state legislators on online political conversations, with Twitter and FB serving as case studies. Furthermore, it sheds light on the differences in the conduct of political actors on these platforms. This study contributes to a better understanding of the role that political figures play in shaping online political discourse.
