A new study by three MIT scholars has found that false news spreads more rapidly on the social network Twitter than real news does — and by a substantial margin. Moreover, the scholars found, the spread of false information is essentially not due to bots that are programmed to spread inaccurate stories. Instead, false news speeds faster around Twitter due to people retweeting inaccurate news items. So, Think before you retweet.
