The Truth about fake news

Have you ever read a headline or heard an audio clip circulating on social media and thought, "That can't be true!" Well, it probably isn't.

In 2018 MIT did a study looking at "news" posts on social media and found that false news was 70% more likely to be reposted and travelled 6 times faster than the truth. ‼️

In short, this means that that viral post you're seeing on your feed is most likely FALSE. ❌

Some food for thought and a reminder to do your own independent research as we head into flu/twindemic season and get closer to election day.
