社交媒体上错误信息的传播趋势

Trends in the Diffusion of Misinformation on Social Media

Hunt Allcott, Matthew Gentzkow, Chuan Yu

摘要:

我们测量了2015年1月至2018年7月期间Facebook和Twitter上错误信息的传播趋势。我们专注于来自570个网站的故事,这些网站被认定为虚假故事的制造者。到2016年底,Facebook和Twitter上与这些网站的互动稳步上升。随后,Facebook上的互动量大幅下降,而Twitter上的互动量继续上升,Facebook互动量与Twitter份额的比率下降了约60%。我们在其他新闻、商业或文化网站上没有看到类似的模式,这些网站的互动随着时间的推移相对稳定,在选举前后,这两个平台上的互动都遵循类似的趋势。

英文摘要:

We measure trends in the diffusion of misinformation on Facebook and Twitter between January 2015 and July 2018. We focus on stories from 570 sites that have been identified as producers of false stories. Interactions with these sites on both Facebook and Twitter rose steadily through the end of 2016. Interactions then fell sharply on Facebook while they continued to rise on Twitter, with the ratio of Facebook engagements to Twitter shares falling by approximately 60 percent. We see no similar pattern for other news, business, or culture sites, where interactions have been relatively stable over time and have followed similar trends on the two platforms both before and after the election.
