【摘要】
How can digital content platforms design information disclosure policies to shape consumers’ engagement with potentially fake content? We develop a dynamic information design model in which the platform and consumers initially face uncertainty about content veracity. The platform can conduct random inspections and strategically signal the results to maximize revenue. We characterize the optimal public and private disclosure policies and show that both strategically delay disclosure, increasing platform revenue but also consumers’ exposure to fake content. Unlike public disclosure, the optimal private policy selectively reveals inspection results to a subset of consumers. It therefore generates higher revenue but significantly undermines consumer welfare. We then examine strategies for mitigating fake content while maintaining profitability. Optimizing the platform’s inspection capability raises profits but fails to curb the spread of fake content. By contrast, subscriptions and government penalties can reduce the spread of fake content while enhancing platform revenue. These findings reveal the tension between platform profitability and misinformation mitigation and offer implications for the design of disclosure mechanisms and regulatory policies.
