20.500.12556/ReVIS-11594 The false information epidemic in social media overview of recent developments and research Throughout history, crises in human society have often been accompanied by unintentional (misinformation) as well as deliberate (disinformation) spread of false information, dating back to ancient Egypt. However, the rise of online social networks has brought the magnitude of the so-called 'fake news' phenomenon to an unprecedented size. The World Economic Forum identifies disinformation as one of the foremost threats to human society. In our digital society, the rapid and widespread propagation of false information poses significant challenges to democratic processes. This contribution provides an overview of research on the spread of false informationon social networks, with a focus on major global crises such as the U.S. elections, the Covid-19 pandemic, and the war in Ukraine, and presents the results of our ongoing research project in this area. social media misinformation disinformation fake news simulation modelling družbeni mediji napačne informacije dezinformacije lažne novice simulacijsko modeliranje družbene spremembe true true false Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Neznano 2025-04-14 12:05:20 2025-04-14 12:05:20 2025-04-15 03:04:08 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2024 0 0 Nasl. z nasl. zaslona; Opis vira z dne 3. 3. 2025; Str. 16 0000-00-00 NiDoloceno NiDoloceno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 316 227859459 227862019 https://www.fuds.si/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/SSSC-2025-book-of-abstract_final.pdf 1 f9b3c236-1917-11f0-963a-001a4af901a5 https://revis.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=13348 Fakulteta za informacijske študije v Novem mestu 0 0 0
