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
- Check the source if it is credible.
- Do a quick fact check.
- Keep your emotions in check.
- 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.
