Abstract

Based on the Governing Knowledge Commons framework, this study examines what users do and think about managing misinformation issues in the Twitter community, and how these are affected by user characteristics. Undergraduates from a public university in the US participated in the study (n = 464) by completing an online survey. Findings shed light on how Twitter community members tackle misinformation issues and inform policies and system designs to support the members' actions and preferences.
