Caramancion, Kevin Matthe.  2022.  An Exploration of Mis/Disinformation in Audio Format Disseminated in Podcasts: Case Study of Spotify. 2022 IEEE International IOT, Electronics and Mechatronics Conference (IEMTRONICS). :1–6.
This paper examines audio-based social networking platforms and how their environments can affect the persistence of fake news and mis/disinformation in the whole information ecosystem. This is performed through an exploration of their features and how they compare to that of general-purpose multimodal platforms. A case study on Spotify and its recent issue on free speech and misinformation is the application area of this paper. As a supplementary, a demographic analysis of the current statistics of podcast streamers is outlined to give an overview of the target audience of possible deception attacks in the future. As for the conclusion, this paper confers a recommendation to policymakers and experts in preparing for future mis-affordance of the features in social environments that may unintentionally give the agents of mis/disinformation prowess to create and sow discord and deception.
