Are You Sharing Lies?
Does this ever happen to you? You're reading a news post, and it's so interesting that you share it with your friends in a Line group right away. If so, you may be spreading fake information.
TV or newspaper companies usually check the facts before they report the news. However, there's nobody to help check for facts on the Internet. Anybody can post anything online. What's more, some people even write pieces of fake news by design to get as many hits as possible. So, what can you do?
The Internet can be full of lies. Some information is true, and some is not, so it is important to learn to tell the difference. Here are some ways.
1. Do some digging on the writer and the source. Make sure they are real.
2. Look at the sentences in the post. Are there spelling mistakes? If so, then it might be fake.
3. Visit a fact-checking web page. Checking information is always a good idea.
Now you know more about fake information online. When you read something surprising next time, think twice before you share it. Don't let people trick you into spreading lies.
你正在分享謊言嗎?
這曾經發生在你身上嗎?你正在閱讀一篇新聞貼文,內容十分有趣以致於你立刻在 Line 群組分享給你的朋友們。如果你真的這麼做,你有可能在分享假資訊。
電視或新聞公司通常在發布新聞前會查證事實。然而,沒有人幫忙查證網路上資訊的真偽。任何人都可以在網上發布任何東西。除此之外,有些人甚至故意寫假新聞,為了盡可能獲得大量的點擊數。那麼,你可以做些什麼?
網路世界可能充斥著謊言。有些資訊是真的,而有些則不是,所以學會分辨資訊的真偽十分重要。這裡有些方法。
1. 好好調查作者和資訊來源。確保他們是真的。
2. 仔細看貼文中的句子。是否有拼字錯誤?如果有的話,它有可能是假的。
3. 造訪事實查證網頁。檢查資訊永遠是個好主意。
現在你更瞭解網路上的假資訊了。下一次當你讀到某些讓人驚訝的東西時,分享前請三思。不要讓人騙你導致你散播謊。
