DESCRIPTION:Why do Republicans and Democrats in the United States disagree
  about what type of content\, including disinformation and hate speech\, s
 hould be regulated online? Current explanations for partisan disagreement 
 about disinformation regulation focus on the role of motivated reasoning\,
  internalized preferences (such as moral values)\, or fact gaps--differenc
 es in perceptions about what is untrue--between political partisans. Yet\,
  little\, if any\, work has been done that seeks to understand the impact 
 of in-group elite\, partisan cues on preferences for online speech regulat
 ion. This experimental study aims to add to our understanding of whether e
 lite cues cause heterogeneity in partisan policy preferences.  Through an 
 experiment showing respondents false tweets by prominent elites aligned wi
 th their own or the opposing party\, my findings will shed light on the me
 chanisms driving public attitude formation. Further\, my results will prov
 ide insight into pathways to resolve disagreements about content moderatio
 n\, which is relevant for policymakers\, social media companies\, and othe
 r entities interested in protecting online freedom of expression.\nSpeaker
