There has been a claim that an actor by the name of Robert De Niro was yelling at anit-Isrel protesters in New Your City, when in reality he was rehearsing a scene for an upcoming show for Netflix.
Due to fake news such as this, people's reputations are fading and making every one hin this society not trust others and things that appear online. Not only do we have to do research on stories and articles online, but we also have to be careful about what we are presenting. Look up the news on a creditable site or paper
“Surprisingly, in a recent paper, we show that even if the information was of good quality and unbiased, [political] polarization naturally arises due to ‘information inundation,’ where users have access to a vast amount of information,” said Kimon Drakopoulos, assistant professor at the USC Marshall School of Business with expertise in data science and social network systems.
“Therefore, a simple tip to combat misinformation is for platforms to not censor content — which can have very adverse effects — and just control the amount of information that a user is exposed to at a time,” he added. “This can be a limit in the size of the news feed or a random sampling of only a few articles per topic that are presented to users.”
