Analysis of External Content in the Vaccination Discussion on Twitter

Richard Kuzma, Iain J. Cruickshank, Kathleen M. Carley

摘要:

新型冠状病毒的传播和网上的反疫苗阴谋阻碍了公共卫生应对大流行。我们研究了2020年2月至6月在Twitter上分享的外部文章的内容,以了解阴谋论和假新闻如何与合法信息来源竞争。检查外部内容-文章,而不是社交媒体帖子-是一种新颖的方法,允许对错误信息进行非社交媒体特定分析,跟踪随着时间的推移不断变化的叙述,并确定哪些类型的资源(政府,新闻,科学或可疑)主导流行性疫苗对话。我们发现,不同的叙述出现了,这些叙述随着时间的推移而变化,缺乏关于冠状病毒的政府和科学信息,造成了传统新闻和阴谋论的信息真空。

英文摘要:

The spread of coronavirus and anti-vaccine conspiracies online hindered public health responses to the pandemic. We examined the content of external articles shared on Twitter from February to June 2020 to understand how conspiracy theories and fake news competed with legitimate sources of information. Examining external content--articles, rather than social media posts--is a novel methodology that allows for non-social media specific analysis of misinformation, tracking of changing narratives over time, and determining which types of resources (government, news, scientific, or dubious) dominate the pandemic vaccine conversation. We find that distinct narratives emerge, those narratives change over time, and lack of government and scientific messaging on coronavirus created an information vacuum filled by both traditional news and conspiracy theories.
