Figure 3

Individual sharing behavior and exposure to misinformation in integrated and segregated networks. (A) An individual who receives an aligned false message is just as likely to share it in an integrated network as in a segregated network (two-sided randomization test; ATE=0.7%, p=0.762, N=16). Each shaded circle represents one network. (B) By contrast, we find a sizable increase in the number of false aligned messages people receive in a segregated network, identifying the exposure mechanism that underlies the structural effect of network segregation on the spread of misinformation (one-sided randomization test: ATE=35.0%, p=0.0002, N=16).
