[***quote<\/em>***] As doctors, nurses and health experts from around the world, we are here to sound the alarm. Our job is to keep people safe. But right now we face not only a COVID-19 pandemic but a global infodemic, with viral misinformation on social media threatening lives around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Stories claiming cocaine is a cure, or that COVID-19 was developed as a biological weapon by China or the US, have spread faster than the virus itself. Tech companies have tried to act, taking down certain content when it is flagged, and allowing the World Health Organization to run free ads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But their efforts are far from enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The tsunami of false and misleading content about the coronavirus is not an isolated outbreak of disinformation, it\u2019s part of a global plague. On Facebook, we have seen claims that chlorine dioxide helps people suffering from autism and cancer; that millions of Americans were given a \u201ccancer virus\u201d via the polio shot; that ADHD was \u201cinvented by big pharma\u201d. The list goes on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n By promoting bogus cures, or scaring people off vaccines and effective treatments, these lies matter. And they travel far — one Facebook post claiming ginger is 10,000 times more effective at beating cancer than chemotherapy has been liked, shared and commented on almost 30,000 times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That\u2019s why today we are calling on the tech giants to take immediate systemic action to stem the flow of health misinformation, and the public health crisis it has triggered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Working in hospitals, clinics and public health departments across the globe we are all too familiar with the real-world impacts of this infodemic. It\u2019s us who treat the toddlers hospitalised for measles, a completely avoidable disease once eliminated in countries like the US but now on the rise largely thanks to anti-vaxxer propaganda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Not only do we health professionals deal with such repercussions, but often we are blamed. Misinformation thus dents the morale of an already strained profession, while the financial cost of battling it eats into badly over-stretched budgets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The diagnosis is grim, so what can be done?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Social media platforms must start with two obvious and urgent steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n First, they must correct the record on health misinformation. This means alerting and notifying every single person who has seen or interacted with health misinformation on their platforms, and sharing a well-designed and independently fact-checked correction — something shown to help prevent users believing harmful lies. While platforms like Facebook have already moved to label fact-checked misinformation, this system does not go far enough since millions of people may have seen a post before it is fact-checked and labeled. That is why we are urgently calling on Facebook to alert ALL users who have fallen victim to such content, which means going a step further than labeling by providing users with retroactive corrections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Second, the platforms must detox the algorithms that decide what people see. This means harmful lies, and the pages and groups that share them, are downgraded in user feeds, instead of being amplified. Harmful misinformation, and pages and channels that belong to repeat offenders who spread it, should also be removed from the algorithms that recommend content. These algorithms currently prioritise keeping users online over safeguarding their health, and that ends up downgrading humanity\u2019s well-being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Technology companies who have both facilitated the spread of ideas and profited from it have a unique power and responsibility to counter the deadly spread of misinformation and stop social media from making our communities sicker. To save lives and restore trust in science-based healthcare, tech giants must stop giving oxygen to the lies, smears and fantasies that threaten us all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For media inquiries, please contact media@avaaz.org.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are a health professional and want to sign on: Elodie Ghedin, PhD James M.

Es ist unsere Aufgabe, f\u00fcr die Sicherheit der Menschen zu sorgen. Wir haben es in diesem Moment allerdings nicht nur mit der COVID-19-Pandemie zu tun, sondern auch mit einer weltweiten \u201cInfodemie\u201d, bei der durch Fehlinformationen, die sich in den sozialen Medien viral verbreiten, auf der ganzen Welt Menschenleben gef\u00e4hrdet werden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Berichte, in denen behauptet wird, dass Kokain ein Heilmittel sei oder dass COVID-19 von China oder den USA als biologische Waffe entwickelt wurde, haben sich schneller verbreitet als das Virus selbst. Technologieunternehmen versuchen zu reagieren, indem sie bestimmte Inhalte, wenn sie gemeldet werden, l\u00f6schen und es der Weltgesundheitsorganisation gleichzeitig erlauben, kostenlose Anzeigen zu schalten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Diese Anstrengungen sind aber bei weitem nicht genug.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Die Flutwelle an falschen und irref\u00fchrenden Inhalten \u00fcber das Coronavirus ist kein isolierter Ausbruch von Desinformation, sondern Teil eines globalen Problems. Auf Facebook haben wir Behauptungen beobachtet, dass Chlordioxid Menschen hilft, die an Autismus und Krebs leiden, dass Millionen von Amerikanern durch die Polio-Spritze ein \u201eKrebsvirus\u201c verabreicht wurde oder dass ADHS von den gro\u00dfen Pharmakonzernen erfunden wurde usw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Diese L\u00fcgen sind von Bedeutung, weil sie falsche Heilmittel anpreisen oder die Menschen von Impfungen und wirkungsvollen Behandlungen abbringen wollen. Und sie haben eine gro\u00dfe Reichweite — ein Beitrag auf Facebook, laut dem Ingwer 10.000-mal effektiver bei der Krebsbek\u00e4mpfung sein soll als eine Chemotherapie, wurde fast 30.000-mal geliked, geteilt und kommentiert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Deswegen rufen wir heute die Technologieunternehmen dazu auf, sofort und systematisch aktiv zu werden, um die Flut an medizinischen Fehlinformationen sowie die dadurch ausgel\u00f6ste Gesundheitskrise zu stoppen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Durch unsere Arbeit in Krankenh\u00e4usern, Kliniken und Gesundheits\u00e4mtern auf der ganzen Welt kennen wir uns nur zu gut mit den tats\u00e4chlichen Auswirkungen dieser Infodemie aus. Wir sind diejenigen, die Kleinkinder mit Masern station\u00e4r behandeln – eine vollkommen vermeidbare Krankheit, die in L\u00e4ndern wie den USA bereits als ausgerottet galt, jetzt aber vor allem dank Impfgegner-Propaganda wieder auflebt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Als Angeh\u00f6rige der Gesundheitsberufe m\u00fcssen wir uns nicht nur um die Folgen k\u00fcmmern, sondern werden oft auch noch daf\u00fcr verantwortlich gemacht. Fehlinformationen verschlechtern so die Moral eines ohnehin schon unter gro\u00dfem Druck stehenden Berufsstandes, w\u00e4hrend die finanziellen Kosten der Behandlung ohnehin \u00fcberm\u00e4\u00dfig beanspruchte Budgets noch mehr belasten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Die Diagnose sieht finster aus, was kann also getan werden?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Die sozialen Medien m\u00fcssen mit zwei offensichtlichen und dringenden Schritten vorangehen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Zun\u00e4chst einmal m\u00fcssen sie Richtigstellungen zu den Gesundheits-Fehlinformationen ver\u00f6ffentlichen. Das bedeutet, dass jede einzelne Person, die auf ihren Plattformen mit Gesundheits-Fehlinformationen in Ber\u00fchrung gekommen ist, gewarnt und benachrichtigt wird, und dass eine gut konzipierte und unabh\u00e4ngig \u00fcberpr\u00fcfte Korrektur angezeigt wird — etwas, das nachweislich dabei helfen kann, dass Benutzer nicht an gef\u00e4hrliche L\u00fcgen glauben. W\u00e4hrend Plattformen wie Facebook bereits dazu \u00fcbergegangen sind, auf Fakten gepr\u00fcfte Fehlinformationen zu kennzeichnen, geht dieses Verfahren nicht weit genug, da Millionen von Menschen einen Beitrag sehen k\u00f6nnen, bevor er auf Fakten gepr\u00fcft und gekennzeichnet wurde. Deshalb fordern wir Facebook dringend auf, ALLE Nutzer, die solchen Inhalten zum Opfer gefallen sind, zu warnen. Das bedeutet, einen Schritt weiterzugehen als die blo\u00dfe Kennzeichnung, n\u00e4mlich indem den Nutzern r\u00fcckwirkend Richtigstellungen mitgeteilt werden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Zweitens m\u00fcssen die Plattformen ihre Algorithmen entgiften, die bestimmen, was den Benutzern angezeigt wird. Das bedeutet, dass gef\u00e4hrliche L\u00fcgen sowie diejenigen Seiten und Gruppen, die sie verbreiten, in den Benutzer-Feeds herab- und nicht heraufgestuft werden. Sch\u00e4dliche Fehlinformationen sowie Seiten und Kan\u00e4le, die “Wiederholungst\u00e4tern” geh\u00f6ren, die diese Informationen verbreiten, sollten ebenfalls aus den inhaltsempfehlenden Algorithmen herausgenommen werden. Die Algorithmen konzentrieren sich derzeit mehr darauf, die Benutzer online zu halten, als ihre Gesundheit zu sch\u00fctzen. Und das f\u00fchrt zu einer Beeintr\u00e4chtigung des gesellschaftlichen Wohlbefindens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Technologieunternehmen, die sowohl die Verbreitung von Ideen erleichtern, als auch davon profitiert haben, befinden sich in einer unvergleichlichen Machtposition und sind daf\u00fcr verantwortlich, der t\u00f6dlichen Verbreitung von Fehlinformationen entgegenzuwirken, um zu verhindern, dass soziale Medien unsere Gesellschaft kr\u00e4nker machen. Um Leben zu retten und das Vertrauen in die wissenschaftlich fundierte Gesundheitsversorgung wiederherzustellen, m\u00fcssen die Tech-Giganten aufh\u00f6ren, die L\u00fcgen, Verdrehungen und Fantasien, die uns alle bedrohen, weiter anzufachen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n F\u00fcr Medienanfragen wenden Sie sich bitte an media@avaaz.org.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Falls Sie im Gesundheitsbereich arbeiten und den offenen Brief unterzeichnen m\u00f6chten: David Katz, MD, MPH Elodie Ghedin, PhD James M.
