Nobody likes being conned. We need information we can trust to understand our world and to make important decisions about our lives. But misinformation is rife online and on social media. Scams, propaganda, opinion dressed up as fact, and ads bombard us every time we go online. And misinformation can spread incredibly fast thanks to social media, reaching thousands and even millions of people before anyone has a chance to check whether it’s true.
But you can help protect yourself from misleading and untrue information. Come to our Spotting Misinformation Online workshop this World Social Media Day and learn how to:
- Identify different online media and information
- Think critically
- Verify and fact check
- Understand social media algorithms and AI
- Recognise bias
