Twitter users are more concerned about real and fake news, or hoaxes, on the internet compared to users of other social media platforms. This is according to a Reuters Institute survey documented in the *Digital News Report 2023*.

The Reuters Institute states that the proportion of concerned users reached 66% of all users of the platform now known as X. Meanwhile, the percentage of concerned users on platforms like YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok was 61%.

Facebook users showed a 60% concern rate. Furthermore, 41% of those who do not use social media expressed concern about real and fake news.

The Reuters Institute notes that the higher level of public concern doesn't necessarily mean Twitter is flooded with more false information than other platforms.

"Generally speaking, when it comes to misinformation, it's important to note that online misinformation is less prevalent than is often assumed. And focusing on online misinformation ignores the lies that spread offline in our daily lives," the Reuters Institute wrote.

However, the Reuters Institute adds that exposure to or interaction with false information online is far less common than people's use of the internet to find news, images, videos, and all other types of content.

This research involved 93,000 digital news users in 46 countries across Africa, Asia, Europe, the Americas, and Oceania. Each platform had a different respondent base.
