Smart sharing in the age of mis- and disinformation
Increasing levels of misinformation and disinformation circulating on social media are a growing concern in the digital age.
The CCE wants to empower you to spot fake news and help ensure that you are only sharing real and unbiased information.
Disinformation: false information deliberately and often covertly spread (as by the planting of rumors) in order to influence public opinion or obscure the truth.
Misinformation: incorrect or misleading information; not necessarily spread deliberately or intended to influence opinion.
Here are a few tips to keep in mind before clicking that 鈥渟hare鈥 button:
- Don鈥檛 let your emotions rule what you post 鈥 did you actually read the article you're sharing? If you find yourself sharing a post primarily based on the headline, you may not have a full understanding of the situation.
- Check your sources. Can you verify their credentials? Are there multiple trustworthy sources backing up the original article?
- Has this information been fact-checked? Check out sites such as to double check!
- Before sharing a picture, try a reverse search to see where else it may have appeared.
- Read and share with a critical mindset. Start training yourself to pick up on key red flags when reading the news.
- Keep an eye out on what your friends and family are posting. If you see something you think might be problematic:
-
- Fact check the information before you say anything.
- If it is misinformation or disinformation, send the orginal sharer a private message letting them know and sharing your sources. Commenting on the post only drives up engagement, further spreading the bad information.
- Keep it polite. Most people don't intentionally share false information, and embarrassing or degrading them won't help matters.
