MIT"好事不出門,醜事傳千裏"科學證據

新聞：麻省理工媒體實驗室的研究人員梳理了11年的推文，看到約300,000人在推文上發表了約126,000篇新聞。他們發現，假新聞比新聞傳播/錯誤的政治新聞傳播得尤其更加廣泛。人類是最糟糕的：人類在社交媒體上傳播假消息比機器人更容易犯錯。如何阻止在線錯誤信息流。張郎同學原則: "不確為真就是假,不轉,不說,不評!" 蘇士同學說: "傳假消息與謠言同罪”。

MIT Scientific evidence of 11 years, shows that fake news travel faster than the truth!

22 hours ago - The news: MIT Media Lab researchers combed through 11 years of tweets, looking at roughly 126,000 stories tweeted by three million people, to figure out how news spreads. They found that fake news about all kinds of topics travels farther and faster than news that is accurate, but false political news spreads particularly far and wide.

Humans are the worst: The researchers found that robots spread accurate news at the same rate as the fake stuff. That makes them think humans are the reason misinformation gets around more than accurate news.

Why it matters: Social networks are desperately trying to clean up their acts to deal with persistent problems like fake news. (Twitter, in fact, is soliciting proposals to gauge the conversational “health” on its network.) These new results could be helpful in figuring out how to stanch the flow of misinformation online.
Humans are far more at fault than bots for spreading fake news on social media, according to a new study.
