A dataset of Covid-related misinformation videos and their spread on social media

This dataset contains metadata about all Covid-related YouTube videos which circulated on public social media, but which YouTube eventually removed because they contained false information. It describes 8,122 videos that were shared between November 2019 and June 2020. The dataset contains unique identifiers for the videos and social media accounts that shared the videos, statistics on social media engagement and metadata such as video titles and view counts where they were recoverable. We publish the data alongside the code used to produce on Github. The dataset has reuse potential for research studying narratives related to the coronavirus, the impact of social media on knowledge about health and the politics of social media platforms.本数据集收录了曾在公开社交媒体上传播、后因包含虚假信息被YouTube移除的全部新冠相关YouTube视频的元数据。该数据集涵盖2019年11月至2020年6月期间传播的8122条视频，包含视频及分享该视频的社交媒体账号的唯一标识符、可恢复的社交媒体互动统计数据，以及可恢复的视频标题、观看量等元信息。本数据集与用于生成该数据集的代码一同在GitHub上公开发布。该数据集可用于新冠相关叙事研究、社交媒体对健康知识传播的影响研究，以及社交媒体平台的政治属性研究等多个研究领域，具备较高的复用潜力。
