A video that went viral on social media this week is just the latest proof that we can't believe everything that is posted. It claimed to be of White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre stating that Americans and Ukrainians won the Second World War, while she further suggested they fought against Joseph Stalin , leader of the Soviet Union.
"Seventy-nine years ago, the United States and our Ukrainian allies joined forces to combat the oppressive regimes of Hitler and Stalin. While Berlin is now an ally, the threat from the east persists. That's why we're committed to standing by Ukraine and offering our full support in any way we can."
In fact, the actual misinformation/disinformation was the video and based on the responses, it was somewhat effective. "Social media companies who care, invest in teams and technology to try to combat misinformation can be successful in limiting the spread of misinformation," suggested Roger Entner, technology analyst for Recon Analytics."If you don't care and don't even try anymore like X then misinformation spreads widely as it is hitting the proverbial fan."
While a goal for all social media users could be to ensure they're informed about where the content they consume originated, few actually take the time to bother. Social media has become such an echo chamber of beliefs that users often don't believe the news they disagree with.Artificial intelligence-generated content will continue to make the rounds, yet, there are some things users can do to identify such content.
