Düülebilir

Düülebilir is a term used in discussions of online communication and misinformation to describe a phenomenon whereby information becomes more credible as it is repeated across multiple platforms and formats, regardless of its factual accuracy.

Etymology and scope: The term emerged in online discourse in the early 2020s and is used informally by researchers, journalists, and commentators. Its exact linguistic origin is uncertain, and there is no standardized definition; düülebilir is typically treated as a label for a process rather than a fixed fact.

Mechanisms: The concept overlaps with the illusory truth effect and the familiarity heuristic: repetition increases perceived veracity; multi-channel dissemination amplifies perceived credibility; small variations across sources can create the impression of corroboration.

Usage and implications: In studies of misinformation, düülebilir content is flagged to examine how repeated claims spread and how fact-checking can counter it. It also informs media-literacy efforts by highlighting the role of exposure patterns in belief formation.

Criticism and limitations: Because düülebilir is a poorly defined term lacking formal consensus, observers should distinguish between actual truth and perceived credibility. It is not a measure of truth itself and can apply to both true and false information. As of 2024, düülebilir remains primarily a descriptive label in informal discourse rather than a formal concept in peer-reviewed research.
