Limitations of Guess et al.'s (2019) study on the prevalence and predictors of fake news dissemination on fb

Correlational study. Observational data. Many participants had to be excluded because they didn't agree to share their data or because they didn't have fb. Participants might have deleted parts of their sharing history before they agreed to share it with the researchers. No information on the consumption of fake news (amount of fake news in people's fb feed). Lists of fake news sources focused on political fake news only. Private sharing of fake news wasn't taken into account.
