Explanation:
Fake news refers to stories based on false or misinterpreted information. These stories try to dupe readers into believing something that isn’t true. Some might try to make public figures look bad or claim people did something they didn’t. Others might try to discredit scientific findings.
Such stories are often shared on social media platforms such as Twitter and Facebook. But scientists have lacked data on how widely they were shared, or by whom. So a team of researchers decided to investigate.
The study also could guide strategies for fighting the spread of fake news, says Paul Resnick. He works at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. Though he was not part of the new study, he uses computer science to study how people behave online. One approach might be for social media platforms to discourage people from spreading rumors, he says. That approach might have more impact than simply booting off bots that behave badly.
Sinan Aral at MIT has some other ideas. He is another coauthor of the new study and an expert on how
information spreads through social networks. One way to fight fake news might be to help users
identify true stories online, he suggests. Social media sites could label news pieces or media outlets
with truthfulness scores, Aral suggests. In fact, at least one September 2017 study has already looked
into that. The bad news: Flagging potentially false headlines or news sites only works a little, it found.
Sometimes the tactic could even backfire.
