Title: Fake news ‘vaccine’ works Post by: wvit1001 on 06 26, 19, 08:16:02:PM Here's something for you trump nuts.
Fake news ‘vaccine’ works, suggests a large new study (n=15,000), which shows a simple online game works like a “vaccine”, increasing skepticism of fake news by giving people a “weak dose” of the methods behind disinformation, a version of what psychologists call ‘inoculation theory’. An online game in which people play the role of propaganda producers to help them identify real world disinformation has been shown to increase “psychological resistance” to fake news, according to a study of 15,000 participants. In February 2018, University of Cambridge researchers helped launch the browser game Bad News. Thousands of people spent fifteen minutes completing it, with many allowing the data to be used for a study. Players stoke anger and fear by manipulating news and social media within the simulation: deploying twitter bots, photo-shopping evidence, and inciting conspiracy theories to attract followers – all while maintaining a “credibility score” for persuasiveness. https://getbadnews.com/#intro Title: Re: Fake news ‘vaccine’ works Post by: D2D on 06 26, 19, 08:21:32:PM You best take a triple dose, Wvit!
