Our `balanced’ + `representative’ metrics provide democratically legitimate alternatives to existing fake news detection. We hope our findings on who is at risk of sharing fake news will gain acceptance with partisans, as their own opinions are responsible for these assessments.

[Roberto Cerina @RobertoCerina]

Finally, we project these sharing estimates onto the US population to get the state-level % of the ``at-risk’’ people. We find small but statistically meaningful area-level heterogeneity; some evidence that rural / white / conservative states have higher % at-risk population 7/8

[Roberto Cerina @RobertoCerina]

However, we find this effect flips when Republican veracity metrics are used, with Republicans being less likely to share fake news according to their own understanding of it ... 6/8

[Roberto Cerina @RobertoCerina]

Democrats appear to share less fake news on average, when we use their own definition of fake news, a ``balanced’’ jury’s definition (with an equal amount of democrats and republicans), and a representative jury’s sense ... 5/8

[Roberto Cerina @RobertoCerina]

Using these metrics we then study ``who shares fake news ?’’ from a sample of pandemic-related Tweets between May and December 2022. The biggest effects we find are, again, related to partisanship ... 4/8

[Roberto Cerina @RobertoCerina]

We aggregate the preferences of the crowd in various ways, and show the ONLY negatively correlated veracity metrics we generate are those which rely on partisans: Democrats and Republicans have opposite conceptions of what ``fake news’’ is 3/8

[Roberto Cerina @RobertoCerina]

To address the democratic legitimacy gap in fake news detection, we propose combining the “wisdom of the crowds” with MrP to generate assessments of digital content that represent the views of the entire population, not just a self-selected few 2/8

[Roberto Cerina @RobertoCerina]

🤼🤖Excited to announce our revised paper “Fake News Detection via Wisdom of Synthetic & Representative Crowds” - https://t.co/oiv627kLoh - where we (@FtSerst @GiuliaPiccillo) make fake news detection fairer, keep humans in the loop, and enhance its democratic legitimacy 1/8
