Why Does Misinformation Propagate Faster? An Algorithmic Perspective on X
The paper investigates why misinformation spreads more quickly on engagement‑based platforms by dissecting the recommendation algorithm of X. It identifies an engagement fungibility mechanism that rewards instant reactions (likes, retweets) over thoughtful engagement (replies, quotes), allowing misinformation—which tends to attract instant reactions—to receive more recommendations. The authors validate this mechanism through a simulation on the USC X 2024 election corpus, showing that adjusting metric weights has little effect, while requiring thoughtful engagement before amplification can significantly reduce the credibility exposure gap without harming mainstream content or engagement.

Fake News Theories: Harnessing Disciplinary Insights for Computational Modeling, Detection, and Explanation
The paper presents a theory-informed computational framework that converts cross-disciplinary theories of fake news into measurable features for automated detection and explanation. By reviewing theories from social sciences, psychology, economics, and more, the authors establish a broad theoretical foundation for computational modeling. Experiments on benchmark datasets demonstrate that theory-derived features are predictive, provide interpretable diagnostic signals, and that multi-feature models generally outperform individual features, though gains are modest.
