What can we do to stop false media?

check our sources and the facts

To end this, we should stop letting writers and publishers get away with posting things without evidence, as it can cause huge problems. So, our solution to false media is reporting things that do not show proof and encouraging others to fact-check what they read before spreading it on social media. Another way we can stop false media is by following a diverse group of people on social media instead of just one publishing service so that we can see their opinions. Also, check if the news service appeals more to emotion or logic because if it is emotional, it could be trying to manipulate people into believing something wrong. That is how we can stop false media.

ALWAYS FACT-CHECK ANY MEDIA
