Misinformation

I am looking to collect research on misinformation

Particularly two types

  • Miss information on social media

  • Miss information which is easy proven wrong.

Miss information which is easy proven wrong.

Information that is easily proven incorrect, but somehow still gets traction.

These are things that can usually be dis-proven with a quick google.

Most of my exploration here has covered online, and I expect most of it will. I am also interested in other types of miss-information that matches the above description and their similarities.
