Shannon Poulsen and I have a new paper out in the Journal of Computer-Mediated Communication. We tested several different ways of flagging false information posted on Facebook and found that people were most responsive to warnings indicated that the content came from a satirical news site. The open-access paper is available here: 10.1093/jcmc/zmz012

Update: There’s a short write up of the research over at Fast Company.

Update 2: The publisher hasn’t yet upload the Supplemental Information file. It is also available here.
