论文摘要

在Covid-19的错误信息传播中,Facebook和Twitter等社交媒体平台推出了设计干预措施,包括链接到权威资源的标语和更具体的“虚假信息”标签。在2020年3月下旬,这些干预措施开始出现后不久,我们进行了一项探索性混合方法调查(n = 311),以学习:社交媒体用户对这些干预措施的态度是什么?他们在多大程度上自我报告有效性?我们发现,大多数参与者对干预措施表示积极的态度,尤其是在特定后标签的错误信息。尽管如此,大多数参与者还是通过其他方式(最常见的网络搜索)发现或纠正了错误信息,这暗示了平台的空间,以阻止COVID-19的误解的传播。

Amidst COVID-19 misinformation spreading, social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter rolled out design interventions, including banners linking to authoritative resources and more specific "false information" labels. In late March 2020, shortly after these interventions began to appear, we conducted an exploratory mixed-methods survey (N = 311) to learn: what are social media users' attitudes towards these interventions, and to what extent do they self-report effectiveness? We found that most participants indicated a positive attitude towards interventions, particularly post-specific labels for misinformation. Still, the majority of participants discovered or corrected misinformation through other means, most commonly web searches, suggesting room for platforms to do more to stem the spread of COVID-19 misinformation.
