 \nKilling not just weeds: Unexpected consequences of combating misinformat
 ion\n\nDate: Friday\, September 12\, 2025\n	Time: 10:30 am - 12:00 pm EDT\n
 	Location: Bronfman Building\, Room B046\n\nAll are cordially invited to at
 tend.\n\n\nAbout:\n\nSocial platforms employ interventions to combat the r
 apid spread of misinformation. This study focuses on one such intervention
  employed by X* that aims to suppress misinformation by helping users find
  accurate information. In particular\, this study seeks to provide a holis
 tic view of the intervention’s effectiveness by investigating its impact o
 n both true and false information diffusion. To this end\, we utilize dual
  process theory to understand the potential effect and leverage the quasi-
 experiment setting and estimate the effect. Our results reveal that the in
 tervention suppresses not only the spread of false news but also true info
 rmation. To understand this unexpected finding\, we further collect data u
 sing Amazon Mechanical Turk and find that true information is suppressed b
 ecause people have difficulty discerning its truthfulness. We provide insi
 ghts into the tweet characteristics that tend to mislead people’s percepti
 ons.\n
