Abstract:

During natural disasters or crises, users on social media tend to easily believe contents of postings related to the events, and retweet the postings, hoping that the postings will be reached by many other users. Unfortunately, there are malicious users who understand the tendency and post misinformation such as spam and fake messages with expecting wider propagation. To resolve the problem, in this paper we conduct a case study of the 2013 Moore Tornado and Hurricane Sandy. Concretely, we (i) understand behaviors of these malicious users; (ii) analyze properties of spam, fake and legitimate m

Abstract:

The issue of fake news and its impact has become very prominent in recent years. Despite the fact that fake news is not a new phenomenon, technological advances have constructed a fertile environment for the fake news to be spread rapidly. Social media platforms, such as Facebook, Twitter or YouTube, offer ground for generation and distribution of fake news. Consequently, it is important to study the way social media operates, how fake news is produced and spread through social network sites and what is the role users play. In particular, this study examines the methods and tools Greek users i

Abstract:

The capability to reach a wider audience and the possibility to disseminate news faster are the main reasons for the growing importance of Online Social Media (OSM) whose usage has undoubtedly reshaped the way news are written, published and disseminated. However, due to the technical limits of online fact-checkers and to an uncontrolled content publishing, there is a high risk of being misinformed through fake news. Although automated accounts known as bots are considered the main promoters of mis-/dis- information diffusion, those who, with their actions, change the current events (e.g.,

Abstract:

In 2016 it was revealed that the Brexit referendum and US presidential election were both targeted by sophisticated online disinformation campaigns, and in the years since states around the world have scrambled to respond to this new threat. Many have chosen to criminalise the creation and dissemination of fake news a crime despite warnings from international organisations and experts that these ‘fake news laws’ will restrict speech and stifle dissent. Southeast Asian states in particular have broadly chosen to take this controversial approach. This thesis seeks to answer why this is. I take

Abstract:

The present research proposes and tests a causal model of how people believe and share misinformative news, as opposed to informative news. In a within-subjects experiment, we presented ten news publications with political content, extracted from Facebook, to 259 Portuguese participants. We tested the impact of individuals' prior political beliefs in judging the veracity and probability of sharing informative and misinformative news publications, via perceived emotion (surprise and interest) and credibility (trustworthiness, rigorosity, impartiality). The results showed that parti
