What is "misinformation"? Why does it matter? How does it spread on the internet, especially on social media platforms? What can we do to counteract the worst of its effects? Can we counteract its effects now that it is ubiquitous? These are the questions we answer in this book. We are living in an information age (specifically an "algorithmic age") which prioritizes information "quantity" over "quality". Social media has brought billions of people from across the world together online and the impact of diverse platforms, such as Facebook, WeChat, Reddit, LinkedIn, Signal, WhatsApp, Gab, Instagram, Telegram, and Snapchat, has been transformational.
The internet was created, with the best of intentions, as an online space where written content could be created, consumed and diffused without any real intermediary. This empowering aspect of the web is still, mostly, a force for good. People, on the whole, are better informed and online discussion is more inclusive because barriers to participation are reduced. As activity online has grown, however, an expanding catalogue of research reveals a darker side to social media, and the internet generally. Namely, misinformation's ability to negatively influence our behaviour both online and offline.
The solution we provide to this growing dilemma is informed by Ludwig Wittgenstein's Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus, which examines the relationship between language and reality from a philosophical perspective, and complements Claude Shannon's Information Quantity Theory, which addresses the quantification, storage and communication of digital information from a mathematical perspective. The book ends by setting out a model designed by us: a "Wittgensteinian" approach to information quality. It defines content published online by clarifying the propositions and claims made within it. Our model's online information quality check allows users to effectively analyse the quality of trending online content. This approach to misinformation analysis and prevention has been designed to be both easy to use and pragmatic. It upholds freedom of speech online while using the "harm principle" to categorise problematic content.

什麼是「錯誤資訊」？為什麼它重要？它是如何在互聯網上，特別是在社交媒體平台上擴散的？我們可以做些什麼來對抗其最嚴重的影響？既然它已經無處不在，我們能否對抗它的影響？這些是我們在本書中回答的問題。我們生活在一個信息時代（具體來說是「算法時代」），這個時代優先考慮信息的「數量」而非「質量」。社交媒體將來自世界各地的數十億人聚集在一起，像 Facebook、WeChat、Reddit、LinkedIn、Signal、WhatsApp、Gab、Instagram、Telegram 和 Snapchat 等多樣平台的影響是變革性的。
互聯網的創建初衷是為了提供一個在線空間，讓書面內容可以創建、消費和傳播，而不需要真正的中介。這一賦權的網絡特性在大多數情況下仍然是一種積極的力量。整體而言，人們獲得的信息更為充分，網上討論也更具包容性，因為參與的障礙降低了。然而，隨著在線活動的增長，越來越多的研究揭示了社交媒體及互聯網的一個陰暗面，即錯誤資訊對我們在線和離線行為的負面影響。
我們對這一日益嚴重的困境所提供的解決方案受到路德維希·維根斯坦的《邏輯哲學論》的啟發，該書從哲學的角度探討了語言與現實之間的關係，並補充了克勞德·香農的信息量理論，該理論從數學的角度處理數字信息的量化、存儲和傳播。本書的結尾提出了一個我們設計的模型：一種「維根斯坦式」的信息質量方法。它通過澄清所發表內容中的命題和主張來定義在線發布的內容。我們模型的在線信息質量檢查允許用戶有效分析當前在線內容的質量。這種對錯誤資訊的分析和預防方法旨在簡單易用且務實。它在維護在線言論自由的同時，使用「傷害原則」來對問題內容進行分類。
