DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:<p><strong>Can Online Dissent be (Effectively) Censored?"</strong> with Arv
 ind Magesan (University of Calgary) and Arieda Muço (CEU)</p><p><strong>Abs
 tract:</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">We study a legal reform 
 in Turkey which imposed new regulations on social media platforms with the 
 aim of reducing the spread of offensive content. Critics' argued that the p
 olicy was intended to silence anti-government dissent. To study the effects
  of the policy, we construct a panel of social media activity for almost 1,
 000 Turkish Twitter users, including a large set of users who were critical
  of the new policy when announced. Using a set of interrupted-time-series a
 nd difference-in-differences empirical exercises, we find that dissenters b
 ecame less active once the new regulation came into effect, and that engage
 ment with anti-government tweets decreased. The preliminary results provide
  evidence of the reform being effective at decreasing anti-government expre
 ssion on social media.</p>
