A crisis information propagation model based on a competitive relation

摘要

In this age of freedom of speech, the increasing popularity of various social networking services is accelerating the propagation of crisis information. Many people express their views in an arbitrary way and spread them continuously in the virtual world of social networking since the entrance threshold for these social networking services is low. In this way, extensive social networking crisis information can be produced and propagated. With the assumption that crisis information propagation is a competing process of real information and false information, we discuss the propagation characteristics of crisis information in different stages and propose a crisis information propagation model based on a competitive relation in this paper. Based on computer simulations of the model, we identify some influencing factors that affect crisis information propagation and provide some corresponding solution strategies.
