It’s not that “the misinfo problem” is made up. It is just harder – and messier – than we thought. Rather than throw up our hands, we MUST adapt our paradigms to meet the moment.

2 – Study behavior - not just belief
Many ppl see falsehoods, but who acts and when? Esp harmful acts like dangerous alt medicine or mob vandalism
3 – Test interventions in fuzzy settings, not just black/white true/false content
Field exps, gray area stimuli, etc
English
New in TiCS w @DG_Rand @GordPennycook!
It’s been ~10yrs since misinfo research exploded, but our paradigms are stuck in the post-2016 “fake news” model
Time for new approaches:
o True/False → Content that misleads
o Belief → Behavior
o Eval interventions in ambiguous settings
