A remedy for the spread of false news?

E-Mail Stopping the spread of political misinformation on social media may seem like an impossible task. But a new study co-authored by MIT scholars finds that most people who share false news stories online do so unintentionally, and that their sharing habits can be modified through reminders about accuracy. When such reminders are displayed, it can increase the gap between the percentage of true news stories and false news stories that people share online, as shown in online experiments that the researchers developed. Getting people to think about accuracy makes them more discerning in their sharing, regardless of ideology, says MIT professor David Rand, co-author of a newly published paper detailing the results. And it translates into a scalable and easily implementable intervention for social media platforms.

How shared partisanship leads to social media connections

Credits: Image: Istockphoto images edited by MIT News Previous image Next image It is no secret that U.S. politics is polarized. An experiment conducted by MIT researchers now shows just how deeply political partisanship directly influences people’s behavior within online social networks. Deploying Twitter bots to help examine the online behavior of real people, the researchers found that the likelihood that individuals will follow other accounts on Twitter triples when there appears to be a common partisan bond involved. “When partisanship is matched, people are three times more likely to follow other accounts back,” says MIT professor David Rand, co-author of a new paper detailing the study’s results. “That’s a really big effect, and clear evidence of how important a role partisanship plays.”
