As people benefit from the convenience of social networks, they are also exposed to security risks from malicious information. This article proposes a malicious and anti-malicious information propagation dynamics model based on higher-order diffusion networks to address these issues. Firstly, to tackle the problem of individuals’ behavior being swayed by the emotional content of malicious information during propagation, we have established an emotional influence mechanism. At the same time, adding user preferences and external drivers proposes a way to calculate individual influence. Secondly, in response to the discrepancies in the propagation efficiency of malicious information among varying users, we establish a higher-order diffusion network and quantify these differences through the stratification of users into three distinct layers of nodes. Additionally, considering the implicit relationship among potential user groups, we establish a group interaction mechanism by mining group attributes and refine the structure of the propagation network. Lastly, given the coexistence and opposition between malicious and anti-malicious information, dynamic game theory is applied to define a state transition equation incorporating anti-malicious information propagators. Consequently, we propose the SAIR model, a novel paradigm for understanding the propagation of malicious and anti-malicious information using higher-order diffusion networks.
