原文翻译
马克·吐温曾经说过:“真理还在穿鞋的时候,谎言已经走遍了半个世界。”当谈到假新闻时,这句话尤其正确。在一项新的研究中,麻省理工学院的研究人员发现,在社交媒体上,谎言和假新闻比真实新闻报道传播得更快、更远。
他们研究了300万个用户在推特上分享的12.6万多条新闻报道。结果发现,假新闻报道的传播范围往往在1,000人到10万人之间,而真实新闻报道的传播范围只有1,000人多一点儿。
据研究人员说,这可能是因为假新闻很容易吸引人们的注意力。假新闻大多是关于被广泛讨论的话题。它还展示一些新的和出人意料的内容。假新闻更具轰动性,可能会让人感到愤怒或惊讶。
2017年,《温州晚报》曾报道,一个女孩儿因为迟到了两分钟,结果不被允许参加高考。很多网民听到这条新闻后很生气,认为学校无理取闹。但事实上,这个女孩儿迟到了17分钟。通常情况下,学生只要在考试开始后15分钟内到达考场,就被允许参加考试。但这个女孩儿比应该允许的时间晚了两分钟。
一些社交媒体网站已经采取行动遇止假新闻。对用户来说,最好的办法是在分享新闻报道之前先以恰当的方式思考并仔细检查一下。
