So as a person that I use social media on a daily basis encountered a lot of situation that they were like just false informations and fake news about something and if for example if we compare it with the past 50 years people they were getting subjective informations from the newspaper but also, for example, on the radio or on the TV. And nowadays with the social media, we are getting less and less credibility, which also impacts us. Sometimes I just see some information, and I had to check twice in several platforms to see if it’s true or fake or not. And unfortunately, not everyone is proceeding in this way, because once they see some kind of information, information they just truly believe it without checking and this is becoming a major issue in this century.
