🚨New paper in press @ JEPG🚨
Http://psyarxiv.com/8fkpy
Remember the paper showing that it’s specifically low-conscientious #conservatives who share fake news? It got lots of coverage. BUT it seems like that claim isn't actually true - in a new paper, we fail to replicate it in 5(!) times and also show that even the original data don't support the claim (because they look at overall sharing, not specifically at sharing of false claims).

Bottom line: conservatives are more likely to share #misinformation, regardless of their level of #conscientiousness.

Check out the ungated paper: "Conscientiousness does not moderate the association between political ideology and susceptibility to fake news sharing" at http://psyarxiv.com/8fkpy

Twitter Blue accounts fuel Ukraine War misinformation

False and misleading posts about the Ukraine conflict continue to go viral on major social media platforms, as Russia's invasion of the country extends beyond 500 days.

Some of the most widely shared examples can be found on Twitter, posted by subscribers with a blue tick, who pay for their content to be promoted to other users.

I don’t usually gift breaking news articles before the context and analysis are added. But holy moly, a preliminary injunction against Biden officials communicating with the social media companies. https://wapo.st/44snxyc

gordonwhite1,

@JosephMenn So it’s okay to yell fire in the theater when there isn’t one and cause people to die when they are trampled at the exits? Social media speech that lies about disasters, when and where to evacuate from wildfires, hurricanes and earthquakes is just A-Okay. Emergency Man comms need to be done by those in charge of managing the disaster. Vulnerable communities are at risk when social media is used against them.

So all this business about Nigel Farage screaming blue murder because he's been politically victimised by Evil Woke Lefties at his bank?

The truth is a lot more prosaic:

Farage banks at Coutts, which is a private bank and has strict "minimum account balance" policies. It seems that Farage simply fell below that threshold, so they asked him to move his accounts to their normal persons bank: Natwest.

That's it. No victimisation, no politicisation. Just Farage is down to his last couple of million or something.

Wenn Redaktionen von Qualitätsmedien mal beschlossen haben, jemand sei für Gebiet X, ist er auch sehr bald Experte für Gebiet Y. Ob er tatsächlich für irgendwas Experte ist, wird dann sehr schnell egal. Hauptsache der Personal Brand stimmt. ist so zu dem Go-To-AntiMuslim-Muslim-Experten Deutschlands geworden.

I would like to share a very interesting research article about #misinformation. Of course, such research and discussions need to be elaborated and diversified for different societies/cultures. Finding the right information in the media is really hard work, so I don't think we should take this #fakenews thing superficially. According to the researchers, #factcheck isn't enough to fix the toxic social environment plagued by misinformation and disinformation...

A test of five #AI-image detection tools finds they often struggle with altered and low quality images and sometimes even fail when an image is obviously fake.

Oh yeah - #aspartame causes #cancer ... again ... This myth has been going around for decades. Recently with #IARC move to classify it as "probable carcinogen for humans" it's an ultimate reckoning with the skeptics and a final proof that they have been right all along. After all, the International Agency for Research on Cancer is gotta be right, right? And the media are happily spreading the news for some clickbait. Only one problem - it's probably complete BS ...

This event shows time and again, that even the world institutions that are supposed to be impartial are plagued by activism, wishful thinking and ideology. As this linked article outlines, the importance of multiple source corroboration, critical thinking and scientific objectivity and taking media clickbaits with a grain of salt is more important than ever ... So, no, I'm not stopping drinking Zero Coke ...

#Brasil #BigTech #Google #Meta #Lobbying #FakeNews: "O Google e a Meta - controladora do Facebook, Whatsapp e Instagram – lideraram uma operação de pressão e lobby para derrubar o Projeto de Lei 2630, o PL das Fake News, da pauta do Congresso brasileiro. Ao longo de 14 dias, as empresas e outras big techs atuaram fortemente para deputados se posicionarem contra a proposta, com ameaças de retirar conteúdo das redes sociais e disseminação de uma campanha de ataques às contas deles na internet.

Um monitoramento do Estadão revelou que a pressão das empresas fez com que pelo menos 33 deputados mudassem de posicionamento entre a aprovação do requerimento de urgência, dia 19 de abril, e a retirada de pauta, em 2 de maio."
