假新闻
There's a study, an MIT study, that fake news on Twitter spreads six times faster than true news.The Social Dilemma · 2020 — 第 9 / 14 章 · 3'00" · C1
有人说,推特上的假新闻比真新闻快六倍;这套系统像把人类行为的地面弄斜——tilt the floor(让条件悄悄倾斜),让某些行为更省力。假信息比真相更赚钱,这套 disinformation-for-profit(靠虚假信息盈利)的生意,值得每个刷手机的人听懂。
一项麻省理工研究说,推特上的假新闻比真新闻快六倍。有人把系统比作被弄斜的地面——tilt the floor(让条件悄悄倾斜),让某些行为更省力;还说这套系统 biases towards(系统性地偏向)虚假信息,因为假信息比真相更赚钱。于是有了 disinformation-for-profit(靠虚假信息盈利)这种模式。新闻片段里,谣言从喝水防病毒传到 5G,甚至有人 blowing up(炸毁)信号塔。想聊算法、谣言和流量生意,这几句都能直接用。
