Reply to comment by OrbitalATK in People who post stories marked false by Snopes on Reddit fall into five groups: Reason to Disagree, Changed Belief, Steadfast Non-Standard Belief, Sharing to Debunk, and Sharing for Humor. Reducing misinformation requires different approaches for each group. by asbruckman

Oh. "Sources on Snopes containing misinformation" sounded like you were saying Snopes contains misinformation.

What I wrote is exactly what my top comment was trying to say. Find false stories (through Snopes), search Reddit for (people spreading those) false stores (for various reasons, which is what the paper is about... what are the reasons they shared them)

Not at all.

I just think the authors should be sharing more data (including sources) than was released in this paper.

That would be ethically problematic since that information could be used to identify/out participants.

Then that seems like a poor study design by the authors that they cannot release essentially all of the data that they obtained, but that why it is in this journal compared to others.
