Définition

  • Gossip, rumors, conspiracy theories, and urban legends—these are all forms of unproven knowledge that circulate through social networks. Social network theory describes how ideas can diffuse quickly through groups with strong ties; Mark Granovetter explains how weak ties between people can help information move from network to network.
