Online Misinformation: how to separate what's real from what's not.
Manage episode 476483908 series 3000695
When it comes to elections, there are battles for votes, and there are battles for information. Candidates hope that their messages will resonate with voters more than those of their opponents.
And that battle is made all the more difficult for voters when information is mixed with misinformation.
Misinformation can come from other countries, but sometimes, misinformation is produced within our own borders by partisan third party groups that use social media to spread lies.
On this episode of The 519 Podcast, we take a look at online misinformation, and how voters can separate what’s real from what is not.
