Study of Governance Strategy for False Information Dissemination in Social Media Networks: Based on the Attributes of Social Media

Abstract

In an era where social media pervades every aspect of life, the rampant transmission of false information has risen to the level of a significant societal crisis. Using a careful literature review methodology, this inquiry delves into the intricate mechanisms underlying false information spread in the social media landscape, resulting in the formulation of a slew of strategic governance initiatives. The study focuses on several aspects of social media, including platform accessibility, audience demographics, profitability rationale, and platform restrictions. It investigates how these characteristics operate as catalysts in the spread of false information, establishing the groundwork for a set of governance initiatives and recommendations. These insights and propositions not only improve our understanding of the dynamics of false information propagation, but also serve as vital resources for the administration and control of social media platforms. The findings and recommendations derived from this study have significant pragmatic consequences for social media platform managers, policy architects, and the general user population, providing assistance in the construction of a healthy and systematic online environment.
