MODIFIED SEIRA MODELS OF THE SPREAD OF DISINFORMATION ON THE INTERNET

Abstract

In the context of a full-scale war, a country's information security becomes critically important. The information space is highly saturated with various sources, and fake news often serves as a tool for destabilizing public sentiment. The spread of disinformation can be interpreted similarly to the spread of a virus, where users transition between different states. This paper explores approaches to detecting disinformation and modeling the dynamics of its diffusion.
