Be careful what you share on digital media. 

Not everything you read is true!!!

 

Disinformation is sharing information that is made up or false.  It is shared on purpose to mislead people.

A community might believe the disinformation and make decisions based on lies.  An example is the Covid 19 vaccines.  When  they first came out, people were saying that they were unsafe because they were created too quickly.  Many people didn’t want to take the vaccine.

I can help stop the spread of disinformation by thinking before I share anything on digital media and by researching where the information is coming from.
