要了解在线激进化，重要的是要了解Facebook和Reddit等社交媒体平台上的回声室机制。激进化尚未达到暴力极端主义阶段的社区可以提供独特的见解。这是围绕阴谋论建立的社区的情况，阴谋论在社交媒体的回音室中蓬勃发展。一个很好的例子是反疫苗接种阴谋：大多数反对疫苗接种的论点都建立在几乎没有科学证据的阴谋之上，在线社区主要回应错误信息。本文探讨了Facebook的社区建设机制如何加剧了疫苗接种错误信息的在线传播，并应用在线激进化的RECRO模型将其与Reddit的阴谋社区进行了比较。
To understand online radicalization, it is important to understand the mechanism of echo chambers on certain social media platforms like Facebook and Reddit. Radicalizing communities that have not reached a violent extremism phase can provide a unique insight. This is the case for communities built around conspiracy theories, which thrive in the echo chambers of social media. A case in point is the anti-vaccination conspiracy: most arguments against vaccination are built on conspiracies with little scientific evidence, where the online community predominantly echoes misinformation. This paper explores how Facebook’s mechanism for community building has enhanced the spread of vaccination misinformation online, and compares it to Reddit’s conspiracy community, applying the RECRO model of online radicalization.
