And when you look at the shares of the URLs, of the written fact checks, one of the things that's very interesting, so not only do we gather where do the shares go, so we can see again the types of groups, public groups only, that the shares wind up in,
when they wind up in the anti-vaccine public groups or the QAnon public groups, they're being hate shared, right?
The comments under them are mostly like, okay guys, someone needs to go over to this page and like flood the comments with the truth.
So it's not like there's a whole lot of receptivity to the information.
Yeah.
So there's there, it's not really,
Yeah.
So there's so much that you can get from even these small case studies when you just look at, does it land in the same places?
Honestly, no, it doesn't.
Because the other thing is like the fact check isn't making its way back into the same corgi club.
The Corgi Club was captivated by the 30-minute cinematography of the rumor or false claim or whatever, not by the thousand-word response.
And so you have a real challenge of...
um just the the structure of like where does the information wind up becomes something that is a very persistent issue of um the format of the correction is usually uncompelling there's a huge time delay people have moved on to something else they're not going to see the correction and then the correction is going to be very boring so even when the cdc does come out with something unfortunately a lot of the time
And this was something that Facebook would occasionally say, like in communication, because they occasionally consult with academics, like people like, you know, SIO and others.
What should our policy be?
What should we be doing?
You know, we talk to them.
They solicit opinions from a lot of people.
And during these questions about how do you counter this kind of, you know, anti-vaccine content?
I was always a big proponent of like, you can't you can't take it down.
