Three new studies suggest that the problem of online disinformation is smaller than we thought and that disinformation itself is less effective. One study found that what we're dealing with is a demand-side problem where people will seek out conspiracy theories whether it's on broadcast, on social media, on whatever channel.Others think it's a very big problem.
