Misinformation and Disinformation

Directory

Overview

Are there any solutions?

The easiest way to combat disinformation is to think twice about what you read online. Don’t take anything you read online as true unless you have checked it yourself by using a verifiable source. One example of a verifiable source is government websites. Additionally, if the misinformation is being spread on social media, you can report the post to have it taken down. This can prevent the misinformation from reaching more people.
