本文通过对英国大学生的一项调查来研究假新闻现象。该调查通过选择事实和非事实内容/新闻组成，并通过验证工具进行补充，旨在评估这些受访者在使用该工具验证之前和之后对事实错误信息的态度。调查结果显示，网上错误信息是一种非常复杂和正在发展的用户行为现象，特别是在使用认证工具时。大多数受访者未能从假新闻帖子中识别出事实。虽然受访者表示不信任使用第三方验证工具，但大多数人表示迫切需要一种验证工具，以支持他们的追求并增加他们对在线阅读内容的信任。
This article examines the phenomenon of fake news through a survey of university students in the United Kingdom. The survey, composed through a selection of factual and non-factual content/news and complemented through a validation tool, sought to assess the attitudes of these respondents to items of factual misinformation before and after these were verified with the tool. The findings from the survey present online misinformation as a very complex and unfolding phenomenon in terms of user behaviour, particularly when presented with an authentication tool. The majority of respondents failed in identifying factual from fake news posts. While respondents indicated mistrust in using third-party validation tools, the majority indicated a critical need for a verification tool that would support their quest and increase their trust in what they read online.
