#realinfo

Incorrect information and the spread of it is a BIG problem, but most of the time we don’t even know that the information we are seeing is fake. Fake pictures and Fake videos, either taken out of context or deliberately made to be fake, are spread all over the internet every day. 

Some people purposely use pictures and videos out of context or create fake pictures and videos. Their goal is to persuade other people and convince them to believe an opinion or judgement, or to confuse and/or give people a certain impression. That fake information goes on the internet and unsuspecting people will believe it’s real or be moved and persuaded easily by it. 

The mis/dis information then gets spread and shared throughout the internet and media. People who don’t check facts and just mindlessly and unknowingly share and spread information are the reason it’s circulated through media and spread to other unsuspecting, easily persuaded, and confused/indecisive people. 

DON’T SHARE WHAT YOU DON’T KNOW

It’s as easy as that. If you don’t know all the facts or you don’t know if it’s real: then don’t share it and spread it.

call out fake pictures/videos and look for the facts. 

Check the facts before you wreck the facts 

Most people have shared and spread information without knowing if it was true or what it actually was. It is sometimes hard to tell what is real or fake and it’s very easy to press the ‘share’ button and spread it to everyone else. It’s okay if you have unknowingly spread mis/dis information. We were all at some point naive people who didn’t understand or think too check facts or not share something that looks fake or misguided. We all need to learn.
