"If it doesn't spread, it's dead." For Nieman Lab, Mark Coddington and Nick Matthews take a look at what news people share on social media, what they don't, and how they decide. "In smaller, closer networks, users are more attentive to pleasing their audience and maintaining relationships, carefully weighing the potential impact of each story," a new survey found. "In larger, more public-like networks, these concerns are less pronounced, as it becomes impossible to satisfy every participant." What's your attitude to sharing news on social media? #News #Journalism #Media #SocialMedia #SocialNetworks #Poll

Today is World AIDS Day, and for the first time since its inception in 1988, the U.S. government will not be commemorating it. Trent Straube from POZ Magazine writes about the stats on HIV and AIDS, and the impact of the Trump administration. "Although new HIV rates have declined overall, progress is imperiled due to funding cuts and a hostile administration in the White House," writes Straube. flipboard.com/@POZ2020 #WorldAIDSDay #Health #Medicine #Healthcare #TrumpAdministration #DonaldTrump #USAID #USPolitics

Black Friday is the perfect day to support independent news sites and journalists with clicks and/or cash. 💰 Here are some who are active in the fediverse. Tell us in the comments if there are any we've missed.   404 Meda, @npub1psar...j5uh

How do conspiracy theories develop and proliferate, and what are the best tactics to quash them? Extensive research focused on Europe, led by a team at King's College London, indicates that it depends where you are. In the U.K., concerns over COVID lockdowns led to conspiracy theories about restriction of movement in "15-minute cities." In the Baltic states, fear of hidden elites is fueled by memories of Nazi and Soviet occupation. "These ideas are spreading in all parts of society. If we want to tackle the problem of conspiracy theories, it’s not enough to turn off a particular pipeline, such as putting restrictions on a specific social media platform or shutting down someone’s account," says Professor Clare Birchall, who led the research. "We need to think about structural problems in society as well as the business models of platforms. And instead of focusing on why people don’t trust institutions and politicians, we should work on making them worthy of trust." #ConspiracyTheories #Europe #Internet #Technology #SocialMedia #Research #SocialScience #Science #Politics #Media
