Individual differences in sharing false political information on social media: Deliberate and accidental sharing, motivations and positive schizotypy.

False political information-misinformation or disinformation-is widely spread on social media. Individual social media users play a large part in this. However, only a minority actively share false material.

Moral leniency towards belief-consistent disinformation may help explain its spread on social media.

The spread of false and misleading information on social media is largely dependent on human action.
