🚨 New report out: the first cross-platform, cross-country baseline on misinformation in Europe Based on large scale data analysis: ~2.6M posts (24B views) collected on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, X & YouTube science.feedback.org/first-measurement-disinformation-major-platforms-europe

What we found: ⚠️ TikTok has the highest prevalence of misinformation:
20% of posts on public-interest topics contain false or misleading info. Facebook is 2nd at 13% LinkedIn has the lowest prevalence at just 2%, showing platforms can design systems that don’t reward falsehoods

One of our most striking findings: the misinformation premium Across all platforms except LinkedIn, accounts spreading misinformation get more reach per follower than credible accounts On YouTube: low-credibility accounts get 8x more interactions per follower than high-credibility ones

Why it matters. Under the EU’s Digital Services Act, platforms must show they’re mitigating systemic risks like disinformation. This study gives the clearest independent benchmark yet to track compliance with the Code of Conduct.
