In the social media, the wrong information spreads faster than the correct information! According to a recent study, the information came out in front of 'New Synthetic'. According to the report, according to researcher Sinan Arl and his colleagues at the University of Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Cambridge, about 0.26 thousand incorrect data were tweeted in the last few years, 2006 and 2017. 70% of these incorrect information has been retweeted compared to the exact information.
Researchers claim it takes a lot of time to reach an accurate information of 15 hundred people. Thousands of people could not see that information until they tweeted 6 times. Why the wrong information spreads to the social media? Researchers believe that the wrong information spreads to social media in such a way that the information seems to be true to us.
Not only that, many times we share that information with emotional or irritated. For example, the researchers talked about the presidential elections of the United States in 2012 and 2016.
