What’s Something That Needs to Change

Put an end to the spread of fake news.

I always wonder why people forward messages which are factually incorrect?

Social media is a breeding ground of false information and rumors. Even if you try to correct others with evidence, it's like talking to a wall.

With the Covid-19 surge, the number of people spreading fake news also swayed the public’s response toward the precautions and immunization.

People falling for half-cooked theories are questionable in many ways because they;

-Help spread the rumor.

-Damage others’ reputation.

-Create confusion about important issues.

-Endanger lives.

Tips to change this trend

  1. Check the source if it is credible.
  2. Do a quick fact check.
  3. Keep your emotions in check.
  4. If not sure, better not to share it.

Bonus Tip I always go through the comments section to see if someone has posted a fact check.

If these strategies are implemented, we can hope to see a better and informed society.
