Sources of misinformation have been a lot on my mind. And a new study shows one that I’ve not written enough about: Facebook.
Sure, I’ve written about recommendation algorithms being a problem, but I was thinking more about YouTube, which is a bigger platform than Facebook.
But an analysis of data here shows just how shocking Facebook is at squelching crazy COVID-19 rumours.
Facebook spreads more wrong stories than all the others combined.
Update, 27 July 2020: Amy Maxmen points out anti-mask groups are also doing well on Facebook.
