| Popis: | Identifying potential mechanisms behind opinion formation is key to curb the spread of misinformation and fake news. Here, the authors propose a model of opinion formation on a network of relations of trust and distrust between subjects, and show that opinion instability increases with the complexity and size of the system, proposing a candidate mechanism for how trust towards deceptive sources develops. |
