  Amidst COVID-19 misinformation spreading, social media platforms like
Facebook and Twitter rolled out design interventions, including banners linking
to authoritative resources and more specific "false information" labels. In
late March 2020, shortly after these interventions began to appear, we
conducted an exploratory mixed-methods survey (N = 311) to learn: what are
social media users' attitudes towards these interventions, and to what extent
do they self-report effectiveness? We found that most participants indicated a
positive attitude towards interventions, particularly post-specific labels for
misinformation. Still, the majority of participants discovered or corrected
misinformation through other means, most commonly web searches, suggesting room
for platforms to do more to stem the spread of COVID-19 misinformation.
