“…Priya et al pointed out that Weibo is a better choice for studying the evolution of events. In emergency and disaster situations, the availability and dissemination of updated information on Weibo may be key points [8]. In view of the bad consequences of Weibo rumors, scholars put forward management countermeasures and suggestions [43][44][45].…”

With the rapid development of social media, Weibo rumors have increasingly attracted widespread attention. To maintain sustainable development of network ecology, it is necessary to clarify the evolution law of rumor propagation. First, evolutionary game model is applied to examine the interaction mechanisms of complex behaviors between Weibo rumor makers, Weibo users and governments in accordance with MA-PT (Mental Accounts and Prospect Theory). Next, the replication dynamic equation is used to solve the equilibrium strategy points of each player. It was found that the evolution game does not have a stable equilibrium point. Finally, we conduct empirical simulation to verify the model and primary conclusions. Results demonstrate that, 1) The reference value plays an important role in the strategic choices of players.2) With the high value of psychological satisfaction of "Herding effect", Weibo users choose to repost rumors.3) Increasing the value of punishment, Weibo rumor makers are less likely to adopt the strategy of making rumors. 4) The higher loss of social unrest can encourage governments to adopt strict management strategies to maintain good online order. The results can guide governments to make better decisions in network governance.

“…Research related to Technology-Organization-Environment and Diffusion of Innovations are the most popular theoretical models for big data [9]. That said, the social network (such as Twitter) is currently the primary means of information sources or communication around the world [11,12]. Clustering the opinion from this big set of data to explore insights about Veganism is a value-creation technique and open to a new opportunity.…”

This report is suggesting the beneficial effect of clustering micro bloggers tweets from 60 hash tags relating to the issue of Veganism. Going Vegan is a wellknown effect on health. We aimed to analyze tweets coming from casual Twitter users and twitter accounts representing the veganism society and industry. We cluster the group of discourse that coming from 60 and more hashtags. These tags include tweets that have tagged with #plantbaseddiet, #vegan food, #vegetarian, etc. We collected n = 50,634 tweets and analyzed n = 25,639 processed tweets. The result shows that sampled tweets, which includes 1) concerns about animal welfare; 2) sustainability (environment) 3) ways to live a healthier lifestyle (Health), and 4) methods and options for Vegan (recipe). Although with 60 + hash tags, this grouping practice allows decision making processes more manageable. This work not only demonstrates the application of a clustering algorithm to collate micro blogs with different hash tags into groups of similar topics but also shown that it is possible to develop a platform for automatically assembling information on the same subject from a range of different micro blogs. The application can significantly assist others, including academic researchers, or businesses, to quickly and effectively find information and knowledge from these sources. This application is possible for society looking for a healthy life.

The rise in the usage of social media has placed it in a central position for news dissemination and consumption. This greatly increases the potential for proliferation of rumours and misinformation. In an effort to mitigate the spread of rumours, we tackle the related task of identifying the stance (Support, Deny, Query, Comment) of a social media post. Unlike previous works (Fajcik et al., 2019;Yang et al., 2019), we impose inductive biases that capture platform specific user behavior. These biases, coupled with social media finetuning of BERT allow for better language understanding, thus yielding an F 1 score of 58.7 on the SemEval 2019 task on rumour stance detection.
