Expertsdefined misinformation as false and misleading information, though views diverged on the importance ofintentionality and what exactly constitutes misinformation. The most popular reason why people believeand share misinformation was partisanship, while lack of education was one of the least popular reasons.Experts were optimistic about the effectiveness of interventions against misinformation and supportedsystem-level actions against misinformation, such as platform design changes and algorithmic changes.The most agreed-upon future direction for the field of misinformation was to collect more data outside ofthe United States.
