Deepfakes: Think It Through
When it comes to protecting yourself from misinformation, the key is don’t believe everything you see, read, or hear.
Verify Sources Check the credibility of the source. Look for news from other, sources that are known to be accurate and responsible. Verify the information across multiple trusted sources before believing the information and, especially, before sharing it. Check the Author Research the author of the content. Check to ensure they are credible and have a reputable background. Check to ensure they are not just sharing something unverified. Use Fact-Checking Tools Use trustworthy fact-checking websites and tools and use more than one. Even some “reputable” fact -checking tools are known to share “portions” of the facts that align with specific agendas, so always use more than one. Be Skeptical of Social Media Understand that social media platforms are “breeding grounds” for misinformation. Posts are frequently shared without trusted verification and, often, with emotion. Be cautious of “viral” content and consider potential biases of those sharing the information. Think Before You Share and Verify with Care! THE BOTTOM LINE:
