接触社会参与会增加对错误信息的脆弱性

Exposure to Social Engagement Metrics Increases Vulnerability to Misinformation

Mihai Avram, Nicholas Micallef, Sameer Patil, Filippo Menczer

摘要:

几乎所有社交媒体平台的新闻推送都包含参与度指标,例如每条帖子被喜欢和分享的次数。我们发现,接触这些社交参与信号会增加用户对错误信息的脆弱性。这一发现对错误信息时代的社交媒体互动设计具有重要意义。为了减少错误信息的传播,我们呼吁技术平台重新考虑社交参与度指标的显示。需要进一步研究,以调查是否以及如何在不扩大低可信度信息传播的情况下提出参与度指标。

英文摘要:

News feeds in virtually all social media platforms include engagement metrics, such as the number of times each post is liked and shared. We find that exposure to these social engagement signals increases the vulnerability of users to misinformation. This finding has important implications for the design of social media interactions in the misinformation age. To reduce the spread of misinformation, we call for technology platforms to rethink the display of social engagement metrics. Further research is needed to investigate whether and how engagement metrics can be presented without amplifying the spread of low-credibility information.
