A huge problem for survey research validity.
new paper by Sean Westwood:
With current technology, it is impossible to tell whether survey respondents are real or bots. Among other things, makes it easy for bad actors to manipulate outcomes. No good news here for the future of online-based survey research

Nobody in Nebraska-MSU can protect the quarterback and it's hilarious.
Nebraska returned a punt to the MSU 30-yard line, got sacked three times in a row and lost 32 yards.
