A rare and shocking event in the Malaysian peninsula town of Ketereh grabbed international headlines.
Peter Bergen : Mass psychogenic illness is not misinformation, but it gives researchers some idea about how misinformation spreads.
Social connections establish pathways of influence that can facilitate the spread of germs, mental illness and even behaviors.
Shaon Lahiri : Debunking is difficult work, but even strong debunking messages can result in the persistence of misinformation.
He says people can train people to recognize the telltale signs of false information.
Lahiri 's research suggests pre-bunking can be used effectively to delay the initiation of tobacco use among adolescents, but it only works with regular “booster shots” of training.
