论文摘要
我们提出了一种最小但经验的理论，用于在线危害（例如，错误信息，仇恨）跨越当前的多平台社交媒体和未来的元演出。新的物理学是从在线社区和平台之间的内在异质性，它们通过用户创建的链接和突然的主持人关闭以及传染过程产生的聚类动态之间的相互作用。该理论提供了一个在线“ r-nought”标准，以防止全系统扩散。它预测了重点扩散阶段。它确定了在线畜群免疫所需的数字疫苗接种水平；并且可以在多个尺度上应用。
We present a minimal yet empirically-grounded theory for the spread of online harms (e.g. misinformation, hate) across current multi-platform social media and future Metaverses. New physics emerges from the interplay between the intrinsic heterogeneity among online communities and platforms, their clustering dynamics generated through user-created links and sudden moderator shutdowns, and the contagion process. The theory provides an online `R-nought' criterion to prevent system-wide spreading; it predicts re-entrant spreading phases; it establishes the level of digital vaccination required for online herd immunity; and it can be applied at multiple scales.
