The false COVID-19 narratives that keep being debunked : a spatiotemporal analysis
Abstract: The onset of the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic instigated a global infodemic that has brought unprecedented challenges for society as a whole. During this time, a number of manual fact-checking initiatives have emerged to alleviate the spread of dis/mis-information. This study is about COVID-19 debunks published in multiple languages by different fact-checking organisations, sometimes as far as several months apart, despite the fact that the claim has already been fact-checked before. The spatiotemporal analysis reveals that similar or nearly duplicate false COVID-19 narratives have been spreading in multifarious modalities on various social media platforms in different countries. We also find that misinformation involving general medical advice has spread across multiple countries and hence has the highest proportion of false COVID-19 narratives that keep being debunked. Furthermore, as manual fact-checking is an onerous task in itself, therefore debunking similar claims recurrently is leading to a waste of resources. To this end, we propound the idea of the inclusion of multilingual debunk search in the fact-checking pipeline.
