Have you shared a post without verifying the information only because it fitted with your ideas or beliefs📲? Sometimes misinformation can confirm what we think.

Misinformation

Everyone shares—though some more than others. Do we always know the true nature of the content we like, endorse or forward? Social media and the internet allow information to flow freely in all directions, whether it’s true or false. In fact, misinformation is often carefully crafted to grab our attention, making it more likely to be consumed and shared. We are the ones who make it influential. It all starts with one like, click or share.
