The COVID‑19 social media infodemic
Researchers looked at activity about the COVID-19 pandemic on five different social media platforms: Instagram, Twitter, Reddit, YouTube, and Gab from the timeframe of January 1st to February 14th of 2020. In particular, they looked at engagement, interest, evolution of information, and diffusion of misinformation. Some results found were that Twitter has the highest engagement for both reliable and unreliable posts, but also is the most neutral in amplifying such posts.
