      Good thread on a **really** important study that is being widely misunderstood and misinterpreted. The study is great, fascinating, important and amazing. The interpretations have been wild, and some really misleading.https://twitter.com/Mantzarlis/status/972107720735232000 …

      Re-upping this because seeing lots of kooky interpretations. What @CrashTheMod3, @dkroy, @sinanaral found — they'll correct me if I'm wrong — is that claims fact-checked "True" spread much less than claims fact-checked "False". The first is very different from *all* true news.

      One of the most fascinating aspects of the study is the interaction between the appeal of novelty (easier to be novel with fake/outrageous stuff) and virality. Really important, subtle point. (Reposted above tweet because typo 🙄).

      The study is really well-written and the authors have gone to great lengths striving for definitional and conceptual clarity! And they are on social media and responsive!

      Ironically, the way a complex, subtle and fascinating study gets shoehorned into simplistic and surprise-eliciting headlines designed for virality... kinda makes one of the study's points!!! 😬

      Folks, that Science study—and it’s a *great* study—does NOT DOES NOT say fake content travels faster than truth. Read the study!!! It’s precisely written. Saw maybe one accurate report so far.https://twitter.com/mantzarlis/status/972175251160301568?s=21 …

      We should be drawing many small lessons about misinformation from these new studies. Instead, we are hammering our audiences with an inaccurate generalization — that fakery is rampant and undefeatable. https://www.poynter.org/news/we-need-get-better-covering-studies-about-fake-news …

      There *are* genuine, profound and thorny issues. However, trying to stuff everything into a lazy, unsubtle and frankly apolitical information apocalypse type framing is... a fad itself chasing clicks and virality. Let’s please get the reporting right. Or try harder at least.
