Abstract in brief

  • Misinformation sharing on social media is driven more by habitual behaviors shaped by platform structures than by individual reasoning deficits or partisan bias.
  • Users develop sharing habits influenced by reward systems on social media, leading to automatic sharing of content without considering its accuracy.
  • A significant portion of false news shared comes from a small group of habitual sharers, suggesting that modifying social media designs could promote the sharing of accurate information instead.

誤情報が拡散されるのは、”情報を拡散させる習慣”を持った人の影響が大きいという報告。 このような人たちは、正しい情報も誤情報も拡散する傾向があって、逆にあまり情報を拡散する習慣がない人の方が、シェアする時は正確な情報が多い傾向にあったというのも興味深い。 https://t.co/4oxVWI9c42

@gabeiracombr Porque as pessoas compartilham desinformação nas redes sociais? Este artigo ajuda a entender o problema. Reduzir a desinformação requer a mudança dos ambientes on-line que promovem e apoiam seu compartilhamento. Original disponível em inglês em: https://t.co/BOmWf1AFC0

Não estou certa disso: "Finally, we show that sharing of false news is not an inevitable consequence of user habits: Social media sites could be restructured to build habits to share accurate information." Fonte: "Sharing of misinformation is habitual, not just lazy or biased"

Users form habits of sharing information that attracts others' attention. Once habits form, information sharing is automatically activated by cues on the platform without users considering response outcomes such as spreading misinformation https://t.co/bKv1VbyEPE

PESQUISA: pessoas podem ser INCENTIVADAS a criar e manter hábitos de COMPARTILHAMENTO de informação sensíveis à VERDADE [do conteúdo]. CONSEQUÊNCIA disso?

【フェイクニュース拡散理由④】→つまり、報酬構造こそ違いますが、SNSでフェイクニュースが拡散されるシステムは、NHK『チコちゃんに叱られる!』などのテレビ番組が放送を維持するためにウソや捏造で番組内容を構成してガゼ情報を拡散させる仕組みと同じと言えます。https://t.co/prGQ9ZBjnE

【フェイクニュース拡散理由③】→投稿や共有を続けてアカウントを維持し、一定の注目を集めることでユーザーはSNSから心理的報酬を受けます。このSNSの報酬構造がフェイクニュース拡散を招きます。人目を引くセンセーショナルな情報は往々にしてフェイクということです。→ https://t.co/prGQ9ZBjnE
