This is a key feature of many forms of disinformation and propaganda (Derakhshan and Wardle 2017 call of 3 12 this "mal-information"), a category some COVID-19 misinformation belongs to, and one which can't be combatted directly with fact-checks and moderation tools operating within the pollution model. Social network responses to COVID-19 misinformation have included efforts to remove epistemic pollution by way of algorithmic and human moderation, architectural modifications to alter the circulation and perception of some information, promotion of domain expertise, and active policing of influential accounts.	./cache/cord-187703-40382yjq.txt	./txt/cord-187703-40382yjq.txt
