Concept

Political fact-checking on Twitter: When do corrections have an effect? - Discussion

  • People are more likely to accept misinformation correction pointed out by people they know because they feel accountable and probably share similar interests and preferences as their acquaintances
  • Twitter API does not provide information on when snoper-snopee relationships begin or end
  • People’s level of receptivity to misinformation correction could be impacted by who pointed it out rather than their insistence on the rumors
  • The impact may not necessarily be the same in face-to-face exchange
