Perverse Downstream Consequences of Debunking - Variables of Interest

Quality of content users shared measured by worthiness scores of 60 news domains (20 fake news, 20 hyperpartisan, 20 mainstream) determined by fact-checkers
Partisan slant of shared content defined as the difference between each tweet’s slant score and political neutrality of the domain the link came from
Language toxicity of tweets and retweets after corrections monitored using Google Jigsaw Perspective API (0 lowest, 1 highest toxicity)
Even tweets without links to the 60 websites were given toxicity scores
