DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:\n\nCan Online Dissent be (Effectively) Censored?" with Arvind Magesan (Uni
 versity of Calgary) and Arieda Muço (CEU)\n\n\nAbstract:\nWe study a legal 
 reform in Turkey which imposed new regulations on social media platforms wi
 th the aim of reducing the spread of offensive content. Critics' argued tha
 t the policy was intended to silence anti-government dissent. To study the 
 effects of the policy, we construct a panel of social media activity for al
 most 1,000 Turkish Twitter users, including a large set of users who were c
 ritical of the new policy when announced. Using a set of interrupted-time-s
 eries and difference-in-differences empirical exercises, we find that disse
 nters became less active once the new regulation came into effect, and that
  engagement with anti-government tweets decreased. The preliminary results 
 provide evidence of the reform being effective at decreasing anti-governmen
 t expression on social media.\n
