论文摘要
全球Covid-19大流行导致了卫生,政治和基于阴谋的错误信息的在线扩散。了解这种错误信息的覆盖范围和信念对于管理这一危机以及未来的危机至关重要。我们全球调查的结果发现,与共同相关的错误信息的覆盖范围和信念令人不安,以及与主要消费社交媒体新闻的相关性以及与政治倾向的密切相关性的相关性。
The global COVID-19 pandemic has led to the online proliferation of health-, political-, and conspiratorial-based misinformation. Understanding the reach and belief in this misinformation is vital to managing this crisis, as well as future crises. The results from our global survey finds a troubling reach of and belief in COVID-related misinformation, as well as a correlation with those that primarily consume news from social media, and, in the United States, a strong correlation with political leaning.
