For the second part of Kirchner and Reuter's study, they conducted 15 qualitative interviews regarding participants' likes and dislikes about certain interventions on social media to prevent users from spreading misinformation. These methods were:

• Labeling the post with a warning that independent fact-checkers dispute the content
• Reducing the size of the picture and article in the news feed
• Including related articles disputing the article underneath it
• Covering/blurring the article (similar to explicit content strategies)
• Requiring confirmation before the user can interact with the fake-news article

Participants were also asked for suggestions for improving each method, additional ideas for interventions, and their opinion on the practicality of applying it. All of the participants liked the warning strategy, while other, less transparent methods were less popular. Additional ideas for interventions included showing how many friends thought the article was false and adding an explanation for the discrepancy right underneath the article.
