Conspiracy hypothesisezzz fill the data void🕳️

///@scientific_american: Encouraging people to “do their own research” and rely on search engines to verify questionable online articles can make them more prone to believing false or misleading information, according to a study in Nature. Problems especially arise in “data voids” when information is sparse for particular topics. Bad actors can take advantage of data voids, creating terms likely to circumvent mainstream media sources and then repeating them across platforms until they become conspiracy buzzwords that lead to more misinformation.
