Solutions and Challenges for Addressing Misinformation
本文综述了减少错误信息信念和分享的多种可行干预措施,讨论了在实地部署中的可扩展性和政治偏见反弹等挑战,并指出了未来研究的关键理论问题与常见陷阱。
Research on mitigating the effects of misinformation has contributed to the development of multiple feasible interventions designed to reduce belief in, and sharing of, falsehoods. The authors review these interventions and discuss challenges and open questions for future research. First, they provide an overview of content-neutral and content-based interventions. Next, they discuss two practical challenges to deploying and assessing these interventions in the field: scalability and pushback against content moderation efforts due to perceived political bias. Finally, they highlight several open theoretical questions and common pitfalls of research on misinformation. In particular, they argue for critical evaluation of how interventions may be effective across different types of misinformative content, different key subpopulations, and different media and environmental contexts.
