“…It refers to forms of factually inaccurate information that is propagated inadvertently [25], often considered as an honest mistake [4]. Some studies use misinformation as an umbrella term when referring to false information circulating online [1]. Misinformation, disinformation, and fake news are three distinct concepts, although similar characteristics are detectable in the definitions used.…”

“…Other potentially conceptually overlapping with misinformation are propaganda, conspiracy theories, and false rumors [23]. Disinformation, in addition to the falseness of the information, includes the purposeful intention by the sender or information provider, and thus distributed, asserted, or disseminated-often online-to mislead, deceive, or confuse [1,[24][25][26][27]. The communication of misinformation has a social function: (1) it is comprehended as a type of collective sense-making, and (2) it subverts outgroups or rivals [23].…”

“…As a concept, fake news avoids any agreed definition [1,30], although it goes back centuries, and it became a buzzword particularly after the 2016 presidential elections in the United States [28,29]. Therefore, it currently has a political flavor [1,3,17], but vaccination, nutrition, and the stock market are also topics of fake news [3]. The research on fake news has focused a lot on the "fakeness," i.e., the deception as well as the motivation of the deceivers [29].…”

The dissemination of disinformation and fabricated content on social media is growing. Yet little is known of what the functional Twitter data analysis methods are for languages (such as Finnish) that include word formation with endings and word stems together with derivation and compounding. Furthermore, there is a need to understand which themes linked with misinformation—and the concepts related to it—manifest in different countries and language areas in Twitter discourse. To address this issue, this study explores misinformation and its related concepts: disinformation, fake news, and propaganda in Finnish language tweets. We utilized (1) word cloud clustering, (2) topic modeling, and (3) word count analysis and clustering to detect and analyze misinformation-related concepts and themes connected to those concepts in Finnish language Twitter discussions. Our results are two-fold: (1) those concerning the functional data analysis methods and (2) those about the themes connected in discourse to the misinformation-related concepts. We noticed that each utilized method individually has critical limitations, especially all the automated analysis methods processing for the Finnish language, yet when combined they bring value to the analysis. Moreover, we discovered that politics, both internal and external, are prominent in the Twitter discussions in connection with misinformation and its related concepts of disinformation, fake news, and propaganda.

As older people turn to the internet for consumption and social connection, it is imperative to understand how online consumption behaviors, such as generating and absorbing electronic word‐of‐mouth (eWOM), influence feelings of belonging. This study therefore explores how organic conversations around brands, products, and services influence older consumers' social well‐being. A 6‐month netnography was conducted in a social media platform geared toward older consumers where eWOM activity was created relating to books, household items, technology, furniture, financial services, clothing, and leisure activities. The findings reveal four types of eWOM—nostalgic, seeking reassurance/advice, providing reassurance/advice, and negotiation, which create experiences of social well‐being. This research contributes to the marketing literature by (1) exploring the implications of eWOM on consumer well‐being (2) investigating how the social value of eWOM interacts with social well‐being, and (3) developing pioneering knowledge of older consumers generating and absorbing eWOM.
