Josh: - I’ve just read an article about a team of researchers at MIT who analysed 126,000 stories posted on social media between 2006 and 2017. They found that lies spread more rapidly and farther than facts. Christie: - ---- Josh: - Actually the opposite. The typical person spreading lies tended to have few followers and showed little activity. What made false stories popular was that they tended to be more exciting than the truth. Christie: - Sounds interesting. I’ll remember this the next time I see a story on social media.
