Debunking and identifying misinformation

Misinformation is the spread of false or inaccurate information that is intended to be misleading or deceptive. The rate at which misinformation is prevalent has been rapidly increasing over the past few years, especially on digital platforms and media.

  • According to a study by UCLA (Center for Communication Policy), it was found that 47.3% of internet information is unreliable and false. 
  • According to a UNESCO survey, approximately 62% of social media report sharing information they have not yet fact-checked.
  • Stanford University reported that 82% of Middle and High school students struggle to distinguish between accurate information and misinformation
