Who falls for misinformation around the globe? Individuals with high analytic cognitive style, accuracy motivations, and valuing of democracy are better at discerning misinformation from true claims. Really fascinating paper that looks at 16 countries across 6 continents.
🚨niche question for people working on misinformation in 🇮🇳: Do you know of grassroots efforts to combat misinformation online or offline at the local level? Could be NGOs or government-related. Bonus if in South India (KA, TN), though does not have to be 1/2
