论文摘要

尽管大多数社交媒体公司都试图应对COVID-19错误信息的挑战,但这些政策的成功很难评估,尤其是在专注于单个平台时。这项研究探讨了Twitter和YouTube之间在传播Covid-19与疫苗相关的错误信息传播的关系中,通过混合方法方法分析2021年共享YouTube视频的一系列推文,其中这些Twitter帐户还链接到已删除YouTube视频。主要组件,集群和网络分析用于通过共享的推文,术语和共享模式将视频和推文分组为可解释的组;内容分析用于评估COVID-19消息的推文和视频的方向。从中,我们观察到,在以前共享可疑信息的用户中,仍然存在大量的反疫苗消息传递,其中持不同政见的政治框架主导着,这表明平台相互作用的节制政策效率低下。

While most social media companies have attempted to address the challenge of COVID-19 misinformation, the success of those policies is difficult to assess, especially when focusing on individual platforms. This study explores the relationship between Twitter and YouTube in spreading COVID-19 vaccine-related misinformation through a mixed-methods approach to analyzing a collection of tweets in 2021 sharing YouTube videos where those Twitter accounts had also linked to deleted YouTube videos. Principal components, cluster and network analyses are used to group the videos and tweets into interpretable groups by shared tweet dates, terms and sharing patterns; content analysis is employed to assess the orientation of tweets and videos to COVID-19 messages. From this we observe that a preponderance of anti-vaccine messaging remains among users who previously shared suspect information, in which a dissident political framing dominates, and which suggests moderation policy inefficacy where the platforms interact.
