Misinformation is a threat that our society faces; it leads to severe economic and societal consequences. With the arrival of social media, misinformation is more likely to spread.
Facebook and Google recently launched a method to stop the spread of false news. There are several tools, techniques and methods to check the reliability of a social media post. These tools can verify images, identities and places. The best way to verify information is a combination of tools and old-fashioned journalism techniques. In this workshop we let you get in touch with several fact-checking tools.
