Abstract in brief
Research investigates the effectiveness of different factchecking formats in social media, focusing on short refutations vs. simple false claims tagged as false.
Simple retractions that just label a false claim as false do not seem to backfire or make people believe the false information more.
Short, 140-character refutations are more effective than simple retractions after a week, as they reduce misinformation and related reasoning, though not significantly after just one day.]
