Prebunking shifts media literacy from reactive to proactive, which I feel is a more effective means of combating fake news and misinformation. Educating people about fake news and how to spot it helps to stop it at the source rather than backtrack. It's similar to how, once toothpaste is out of the tube, you can't put it back. If you put a cap on it, it won't spill out and get everywhere #so315
@ci3002I agree with you! I think that preventative measures such as education can be a great tool to hopefully decrease the amount of fake news being spread. It is easy to see something online and share it with friends without fact checking. Education may help people think twice before accidentally spreading false information. #so315
