Many of us are being misled. Claiming to know dark secrets about public officials, hidden causes of the current economic situation, and nefarious plans and plots, those who spread rumors know precisely what they are doing. And in the era of social media and the Internet, they know a lot about how to manipulate the mechanics of false rumors-social cascades, group polarization, and biased assimilation. They also know that the presumed correctives-publishing balanced information, issuing corrections, and trusting the marketplace of ideas-do not always work. All of us are vulnerable.In On Rumors, Cass Sunstein uses examples from the real world and from behavioral studies to explain why certain rumors spread like wildfire, what their consequences are, and what we can do to avoid being misled. In a new afterword, he revisits his arguments in light of his time working in the Obama administration.… (altro)

While essentially an essay, and interesting for the most part, that author fails to convince me of his conclusions. The more interesting and telling part is the discussion on the psychology of rumors, why people accept them, and why they are so difficult to refute. The author then tries to discuss legal cases and statutes in which he implies that a softening of the First Amendment would be best for stopping the spread of falsehood, which I find troubling. A quick read, but one to take with more than one grain of salt. ( )

Bueno, simple entretenido, que más se le puede pedir a un libro sobre sociología juridica, interesante el tema del funcionamiento de los grupos sociales y como al ser homogeneos se radicalizan ( )

Is there an unfounded rumour circulating around the office at your expense? If you answered in the affirmative you might take some comfort in the thought that the original propagators acted in good faith – your current situation merely the result of an unchecked information or conformity cascade, while any truly malicious colleagues are merely victims of biased assimilation and/or disconfirmation bias. The solution? Simple: keep everyone isolated from each other (to prevent the process of group polarisation from potentially exacerbating the problem, obviously) and whatever you do, do not attempt to refute the rumour – it will only encourage them!

Such is the message of this book, albeit in exaggerated form here. Mixed in with the concepts mentioned above (which are simple concepts, despite their intimidating names) Sunstein also manages to fit in an overview of the Asch conformity experiments as well as a suggestive (and somewhat controversial) section on libel law towards the end. All these areas come together nicely to create a cogent explanation of a complicated process.

It is brief – necessarily so in such a concise work – but well structured and well written; despite its brevity it nonetheless delivers on its subtitle of 'how falsehoods spread, why we believe them, [and] what can be done'. You will not come away from this book with a fundamentally altered view of the world, but you may just raise a smile when you next hear your colleagues gossiping at the water cooler as you start to notice, for the first time, the underlying processes at work.

As usual, Sunstein presents his case clearly, using examples to illustrate his point. His explanations resonate in this political climate when we wonder why we are talking about a birth certificate. This is a complex issue and is one that is important to think about. Solutions are less clear, as Sunstein points out. His measured tone is refreshing in this age of shouting. ( )

Geruchten kunnen enorme invloed hebben en, zoals Cass Sunstein aantoont in dit kernachtige en heldere betoog, als ze eenmaal de wereld in zijn raak je ze bijna niet meer kwijt. Dit is een eeuwenoude wijsheid. Vooral valse geruchten zijn problematisch; ze brengen personen en instellingen ernstige schade toe en laten zich lang niet altijd corrigeren.

Door de komst van internet zijn zowel de verspreiding als de gevolgen van geruchten drastisch toegenomen. Dit unieke boek biedt een nieuwe kijk op hoe wij informatie verzamelen en interpreteren. Sunstein laat zien dat mensen vooroordelen hebben die hen extra gevoelig maken voor bepaalde onwaarheden. Ook beschrijft hij onze neiging om andermans informatie voor waar aan te nemen als die voortdurend herhaald wordt of als vele anderen erin geloven, zelfs als we zelf betere tegenargumenten hebben.
Deze en andere conclusies uit wetenschappelijk onderzoek grijpt Sunstein aan om nieuw licht te werkpen op de discussie over vrijheid van meningsuiting en de daaraan gekoppelde verantwoordelijkheden.

That the Web is full of misinformation is irrefutable, but Sunstein's case for toughening libel laws and educating consumers on how information spreads (which he approvingly predicts would have a chilling effect) will most likely provoke debate.
