Before you share something you see, take steps to see that it’s true
As we enter the final sprint of election season, it’s more important than ever to be on the lookout for disinformation and misinformation. Disinformation is deliberate. Misinformation includes false information that is spread without the intent to deceive. Both can be very dangerous in certain circumstances.Sometimes the information is about a candidate, but it can also be about an issue, an event or even a natural disaster.
If a story you see online has a byline, do a little research on the author to see if they’re credible or qualified or if they have a track record of sharing false or sensational information. Of course, be on the lookout for deep fakes, which are getting easier to create thanks to generative AI. Just because you see a photo or a video of something doesn’t mean it’s true. Again, check other sources to see if what the image implies has been verified or debunked by legitimate sources.
