Abstract
The use of technology to combat online misinformation is becoming a prominent topic of research and practice, yet most of the
existing solutions do not consider the impact of cognitive biases
in misinformation-related decision-making. Addressing this gap,
the present paper explores the potential of nudging to inform the
design of technological interventions that combat misinformation.
We report on a design workshop with 29 participants, who were
asked to conceive technology-mediated nudges for misinformation
with the use of the "Nudge Deck", a design-support tool that presents
23 interaction design mechanisms for nudging
