The Study of More Susceptible to Fake News Makers with Influencing Factors in Social Media
Pages 496 - 501
Abstract
The menace of fake news has gained attention through the trend of the convenience of information-sharing in the cyber world. The information-sharing lifestyle has penetrated people's cyber routines. This study adopts a victimology perspective to explore the characteristics of the audience that is most likely to be influenced by fake news in social media through secondary data quantitative research. The results show that demographic characteristics, gender, and education level affect the likelihood of receiving fake news. When people use more social media platforms and have greater engagement, such as more sharing, reposting, and replying on social media platforms, there is a greater chance of receiving fake news.
