Lies spread faster than truth on Twitter

[Lily]

"We found that falsehood diffuses significantly farther, faster, deeper, and more broadly than the truth, in all categories of information, and in many cases by an order of magnitude,” says Sinan Aral, a professor at the MIT Sloan School of Management and co-author of a new paper detailing the findings.

“These findings shed new light on fundamental aspects of our online communication ecosystem,” says Deb Roy, an associate professor of media arts and sciences at the MIT Media Lab and director of the Media Lab’s Laboratory for Social Machines (LSM), who is also a co-author of the study. Roy adds that the researchers were “somewhere between surprised and stunned” at the different trajectories of true and false news on Twitter.

Moreover, the scholars found, the spread of false information is essentially not due to bots that are programmed to disseminate inaccurate stories. Instead, false news speeds faster around Twitter due to people retweeting inaccurate news items."

America's current presidon't tells the most outrageous, pathetic and outrageous lies, the kind of tall tales you expect from old lowlifes with nothing to show for themselves.

But you see, those are "good lies". Of course, it all depends on who you ask about them.

Pig, explain in the best way you can why you gigglesnorted and cheered when Robert Muller expended 34 million worth of taxpayer monies to do something Elon is doing for free but now all of the sudden said transparency is orange man bad.

And try to maintain some level of cohesion while you are at it.

So you don't know the difference between expending tax payer money in the name of transparency and charing 8 bucks a month to engage a private platform

Thanks for showing us how stupid you are.

You say we didn't read this report it as if it contained some really damming information. Okay pig, highlight the most relevant part where criminal (or otherwise) proceedings should have been resultant from his work.

I'm done with you derailing the topic here. It's not about whatever your diseased brain wants it to be.

Like I said, in the absence of facts you flounder about like a stuck pig

You've proven me right yet again, pig.

No, you just don't have an answer to the very relevant issue I raised. Period, fat fuck.

I can see where you'd be too stupid to understand the connection.

Perhaps if I formatted the post using factions froms all four food groups to help stimulate your low brain function? Would that help?

You're threadjacking and you know it. It's one of your primary methods of not addressing the information provided. You can't counter the study, so you attack the story with a "whataboutism".

Like the average clown, you're just not really entertaining. You're a creep.

Awe... poor baby, people don't accept the inconsistencies in your narrative and that gives you the tummy aches. Get fucked if this displeases you pig. My reply was both insightful and germane to the subject matter.

It's not my fault your bullshit cannot hold under scrutiny.

Cope, snowflake.

You're just plain obnoxious, you know this is the type of behavior expected of little kids playing Fortnite, where jumping around and braying like a jack ass all day is expected...do you play Fortnite?

No, I'm an adult. I don't play video games. Per usual for your kind, you didn't address the truth of her attempt to threadjack.

Just another personal attack. Shocking.

Careful now. Martini is a big video game addict and we all know how much you enjoy the taste of his asshole.
