Why does this matter?
We’ve all been there. You’re at a family dinner, scrolling through social media, or watching the news, and someone drops a statement that makes your Spidey-sense tingle. It sounds shocking. It sounds important. But is it true? for facts sake
The proliferation of social media has created an environment where misinformation can spread quickly and easily. According to a study by the Pew Research Center, 64% of adults in the United States say that fake news has caused confusion among the public (Pew Research Center, 2018). Social media platforms, which prioritize engagement and sensationalism over accuracy, have become breeding grounds for fake news and conspiracy theories. A study by the Knight Foundation found that 70% of Americans reported seeing fake news on social media during the 2016 presidential election (Knight Foundation, 2017). This has significant consequences, as misinformation can influence public opinion, sway elections, and even affect people's health and well-being. Why does this matter
Do it for facts’ sake.
