社交媒体COVID-19错误信息干预被视为积极的,但影响有限

Social Media COVID-19 Misinformation Interventions Viewed Positively, But Have Limited Impact

Christine Geeng, Tiona Francisco, Jevin West, Franziska Roesner

摘要:

在COVID-19错误信息的传播中,Facebook和Twitter等社交媒体平台推出了设计干预措施,包括链接到权威资源的横幅和更具体的“虚假信息”标签。2020年3月下旬,在这些干预措施开始出现后不久,我们进行了一项探索性混合方法调查(N = 311),以了解:社交媒体用户对这些干预措施的态度如何,以及他们自我报告的有效性如何?我们发现,大多数参与者对干预措施,特别是错误信息的特定标签表示积极的态度。尽管如此,大多数参与者还是通过其他方式发现或纠正了错误信息,最常见的是网络搜索,这表明平台有更多的空间来阻止COVID-19错误信息的传播。

英文摘要:

Amidst COVID-19 misinformation spreading, social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter rolled out design interventions, including banners linking to authoritative resources and more specific "false information" labels. In late March 2020, shortly after these interventions began to appear, we conducted an exploratory mixed-methods survey (N = 311) to learn: what are social media users' attitudes towards these interventions, and to what extent do they self-report effectiveness? We found that most participants indicated a positive attitude towards interventions, particularly post-specific labels for misinformation. Still, the majority of participants discovered or corrected misinformation through other means, most commonly web searches, suggesting room for platforms to do more to stem the spread of COVID-19 misinformation.
