In sum, the consumption of various forms of online misinformation at the
individual level is relatively limited as a share of people’s overall information
diets, on average. However, this can mask differences between subgroups;
people with strongly partisan news consumption habits may be much more
likely to encounter and consume pro-attitudinal misinformation. Given the
heterogeneity and skew of the prevalence of misinformation online, it is
important to be cautious about making generalizations on the basis of highly
aggregated data and “engagement” metrics, which can be difﬁcult to interpret
and whose magnitudes can be misleading.
