Older Ontarians most involved in spreading COVID-19 misinformation online: study
“Misinformation about COVID-19 is being spread online by six per cent of people in Ontario, most of them between the ages of 55 and 64, a new study has found.”
“The research was conducted by Advanced Symbolics Inc., which applied artificial intelligence technology to Twitter posts made between March 24, 2020 and March 24, 2021.
The company said it looked at a randomized controlled sample of 200,000 people in Ontario, and used different classifiers such as the topics they posted about to determine their age.”
