Thesis project:

 

A fake social platform.

However, an Internet Personality Test is required before use.

Match the appropriate suggestions based on the user’s answer, but do not interfere with the user’s behavior.
After entering the social platform, users can choose to browse the two major Internet communities,

“Truth Society” and “Unsure Society”.

 

The difference is that the former is absolutely true information supported by literature and official news,

while the latter is an unconfirmed information exchange society initiated by netizens.

 

In Unsure Society, users’ browsing records and operations will be recorded without exposing personal privacy,

used to follow up the development of news events that users have browsed, and calculate the proportion of users who believe in false information.

In the end, these results will be displayed in the Internet Personality Report that users retest by themselves to show information such as changes in user behavior patterns.

The aim is to discuss the authenticity and credibility of Internet information and how to reduce misunderstandings caused by incomplete and erroneous information.

 

Is the misinformation we think is just because of our different position?

The rapid spread of the Internet has led to the influx of many different information. How should we deal with this information?
