  This research examines the propagation of rumors on social networks during
public health emergencies and explores strategies to effectively manage false
information in cyberspace. Using a simulation model, the study analyzes the
impact of factors such as communication channel control, government
intervention, and individual personalities on the spread of rumors. The results
suggest that enhancing netizens' knowledge and capacity to recognize and resist
rumors, developing rumor-debunking platforms, and promoting a "clear" ecology
of network information content are effective strategies for controlling false
information in cyberspace. However, the complexity and scale of actual networks
present challenges to the development of a comprehensive cyberspace governance
system. The findings offer practical guidelines for improving the effectiveness
of governance in managing the spread of rumors on social networks.
