Older Women Identified as Major Misinformation Superspreaders on Twitter

A study analyzing over 650,000 US-based Twitter accounts found that a small group of older women, representing just 0.3% of the accounts, are responsible for sharing 80% of the links to fake news sites. These "misinformation superspreaders" were identified through their political tweets containing links to known misinformation websites, highlighting the significant role average individuals play in spreading false information on social media.
