[escepticos] Misinformation’s missing human - Luke Munn, 2024

[José María Mateos]

Buenas a todos,

Acabo de ver pasar este artículo en mi Mastodon y aún no me lo he leído, 
pero el abstract promete. Creo que es relevante para estas listas 
(perdón por el cross-post).

> From pandemics to political campaigns, online misinformation has 
> become acute. In response, a plethora of interventions have been 
> offered, from debunking and prebunking to fact-checking and labeling. 
> While the technical efficacy of these “solutions” are debatable, I 
> suggest a more fundamental failure: they rely on a humanlike 
> caricature, a rational and ethical figure who only needs better facts 
> to disavow misguided misinfo practices. Instead I argue that 
> misinformation studies must incorporate a more holistic human. Drawing 
> from the broader humanities, this article conceptualizes the 
> actually-existing human who can be emotional, factional, and bigoted – 
> all qualities instrumentalized and amplified by online media. 
> Reinserting this missing figure reintroduces agency and antipathy into 
> misinformation studies. Misinformation is not something done to 
> innocent subjects who merely need to be educated, but is an active 
> practice shaped by identity and sociality that reflects the 
> contradictions and frictions intrinsic to human nature.
