论文摘要
COVID-19大流行一直是大量错误信息的主题，尤其是在数字信息环境中，主要的社交媒体平台最近宣布了他们采用的一些对策。这是一个机会，可以检查所产生的错误信息和虚假信息的性质，以及用于对抗它的理论和技术范式。我认为，这种方法是基于一个错误信息的概念，因为它只能证明有限且可能不足的反应是合理的，并且在实践中采取的某些措施已经解决了这一问题。实际上，社交网络管理生态和建筑条件，这些条件影响了对其平台上的话语的方式，这些方式应激励人们重新考虑理解认识论干预措施以打击错误信息的理由，以及他们保证的干预类型。平台的编辑角色不应仅仅是作为认知污染的管理而构成的，而应作为管理叙事和社会认知过程的认知环境。这是不可避免的认识论的一个因素，并且对其合理性的独立约束探索可以帮助确定其在实践中的适当限制。
The COVID-19 pandemic has been the subject of a vast amount of misinformation, particularly in digital information environments, and major social media platforms recently publicized some of the countermeasures they are adopting. This presents an opportunity to examine the nature of the misinformation and disinformation being produced, and the theoretical and technological paradigm used to counter it. I argue that this approach is based on a conception of misinformation as epistemic pollution that can only justify a limited and potentially inadequate response , and that some of the measures undertaken in practice outrun this. In fact, social networks manage ecological and architectural conditions that influence discourse on their platforms in ways that should motivate reconsideration of the justifications that ground epistemic interventions to combat misinformation, and the types of intervention that they warrant. The editorial role of platforms should not be framed solely as the management of epistemic pollution, but instead as managing the epistemic environment in which narratives and social epistemic processes take place. There is an element of inevitable epistemic paternalism involved in this, and exploration of the independent constraints on its justifiability can help determine proper limits of its exercise in practice.
