False information, also known as fake news, refers to intentionally misleading news stories, fiction, or hoaxes published to deceive people. While fake news was originally defined as political misinformation, the term "false information" more broadly describes inaccurate or misleading information across various topics. The rise of social media and fewer constraints on online publishing have enabled the spread of false information. Various types of false information exist, including clickbait, propaganda, satire, and biased reporting. False information spreads quickly online and can be lucrative for publishers through advertising revenue. Fact-checking organizations and technology companies are working to address the issue, while promoting critical thinking skills is important to help people identify false information.

Fake news: Personal responsibility must trump intellectual laziness
By Matt Chan January 4, 2017
Where do you get your news? That question has become incredibly important given the results of our Presidential Election. How many times have you heard, “I read a news story on Facebook and …” The problem: Facebook is not a news service; it’s a “social media” site whose purpose is to connect like-minded friends and family, to provide you with social connections, and online entertainment.
For Asian Americans social media provides an important and useful way of connecting socially and in some cases politically, but there is a downside. The downside is how social media actually works. These sites employ elaborate algorithms to track and analyze your posts, likes, and dislikes to provide you with a custom experience unique to you. The truth is you are being marketed to, not informed. What looks like news, is not really news, it’s personal validation. All in an attempt to keep you on the site longer, to click a few more things, to make you feel good about what you’re reading. It makes it seem like most people agree with you because you’re only fed information and stories that validate your worldview.
On the other hand, real news is hard work. Its fact-based information presented by people who have checked, researched, and documented what they are presenting as the truth. Real news can be verified.
“Fake News” is, well, fake, often times entirely made-up or containing a hint of truth. Social media was largely responsible for pushing “fake news” stories that were entirely made up to drive clicks on websites. These clicks in turn generated money for the people promoting the stories. The more outrageous the story, the more clicks, the more revenue. When you factor in the algorithms that feed you what you like, you can clearly see the more “fake news” you consume on social media, the more is pushed your way. There’s an abundance of pseudo news sites that merely re-post and curate existing stories, adding their bias to validate their audience’s beliefs, no matter how crazy or mainstream. It is curated solely for you. Now factor in that nearly 44% of Americans obtain some or most of their news from social media and you have a very toxic mix.
The mainstream news media has also fallen into this validation trap. You have one news network that solely reflects the right wing, others that take the view of the left-center leaning, and what is lost are the facts and context, the balance we need to evaluate, learn, and understand the world. People seeking fact-based journalism lose, because the more extreme the media becomes to entice consumers with provocative headlines and click-bait to earn more money, the less their news is fact-based and becomes more opinion driven.
There was a time when fact-based reporting was required of broadcast news. It was called “The Fairness Doctrin ...

"Media and Information Literacy consists of the knowledge, the attitudes, and the sum of the skills needed to know when and what information is needed; where and how to obtain that information; how to evaluate it critically and organise it once it is found; and how to use it in an ethical way. The concept extends beyond communication and information technologies to encompass learning, critical thinking, and interpretative skills across and beyond professional and educational boundaries. Media and Information Literacy includes all types of information resources: oral, print, and digital. Media and Information Literacy is a basic human right in an increasingly digital, interdependent, and global world, and promotes greater social inclusion. It can bridge the gap between the information rich and the information poor.

"We live in a world where the quality of information we receive largely determines our choices and ensuing actions, including our capacity to enjoy fundamental freedoms and the ability for self-determination and development. Driven by technological improvements in telecommunications, there is also a proliferation of media and other information providers through which vast amounts of information and knowledge are accessed and shared by citizens.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
1. What is False Information (Fake News), exactly?
Fake News vs. False Information
Given that the word "fake news" is closely associated with politics and might unhelpfully
focus attention on the issue, experts now advise avoiding it or at least using it sparingly.
While "fake news" is more specifically defined as political news articles, the phrase "false
information" is preferable since it may apply to a wide variety of misinformation and
disinformation covering areas like health, the environment, and economics across all
platforms and genres.
False information is what, exactly?
Despite the fact that many things you read online, especially in your social media feeds,
may seem to be real, they frequently are not. False information is news, fiction, or
hoaxes that are published with the intent to mislead or deceive readers. These stories
are frequently profitable for internet publishers since they are typically written to either
sway people's opinions, forward a political agenda, or confuse people. False information
has the ability to mislead consumers by imitating reliable websites or utilizing names
and URLs that are similar to those of respectable news organizations.

Growing False Information
False information is nothing new, but it has received a lot more attention since 2017.
Previously, we relied on trustworthy journalists, media organizations, and sources who
adhered to strict ethical standards. However, the internet has enabled people to publish,
exchange, and consume news and information in entirely new ways, with few
constraints or editorial guidelines.
Many people nowadays get their news from social media networks and websites, and it
can be difficult to determine whether a story is true or not. An increase in false news or
hoax stories has also been attributed to information overload and a general lack of
understanding of how the internet works by individuals.
2. False Information Types
Different people have different ideas about what constitutes various kinds of incorrect
information. However, there are a number of different sorts of fake or misleading news
that we need to be aware of when analyzing content online. These consist of:
1. Clickbait
These are intentionally made-up tales that are told to attract more internet visits and
boost advertising income for websites. Clickbait articles employ provocative titles to
attract readers and direct them to the publisher's website, usually at the price of
accuracy or truth.
2. Propaganda
Aiming to promote a skewed point of view, specific political cause, or agenda, these
stories aim to purposefully mislead audiences.
3. Satire/Parody
False news reports are frequently posted on websites and social media platforms as
humor and satire.
4. inadequate journalism
Inaccurate information or the failure to verify all the facts can sometimes cause
journalists or reporters to publish a story that could mislead readers. For instance,
during the U.S. elections, the clothing company Urban Outfitters released an Election
Day Guide that featured inaccurate information stating that voters required a "voter
registration card." No American state mandates this in order to cast a ballot.
5. erroneous headings
Using spectacular or deceptive headlines, stories that are not entirely false can be
misinterpreted. On social media platforms where only headlines and brief excerpts of
the whole article are shown to audience newsfeeds, these kinds of news can spread
swiftly.
6. News that is slanted or biased
False news can capitalize on the fact that many individuals are drawn to news or stories
that support their preconceived notions or biases. Based on our individualized searches,
social media news feeds frequently present stories and pieces they believe we'll find
interesting.

7. Imitation Content
When genuine sources are impersonated by fabricated sources. This is risky because it
involves information with no factual basis being presented in the style of a credible news
source or article in order to appear legitimate.
8. Modified Content
when accurate data or imagery is changed to spread false information, as when a photo
or video is altered. This can be used to deceive individuals or spread false information
about them.
The Business Model of False Information
Because of the internet and social media, it is now very simple for anyone to publish
content on a website, blog, or social media profile and potentially reach large audiences.
Because so many people now get their news from social media sites, many content
creators/publishers have taken advantage of this.
False information can be a lucrative business, generating large sums of advertising
revenue for publishers who create and distribute viral stories. The more clicks a story
receives, the more money online publishers make from advertising revenue, and social
media is an ideal platform for many publishers to share content and drive web traffic.
What may be done in regards to false information?
By introducing tools for reporting and identifying fake news, Google and Facebook have
launched new initiatives to combat it. Fact-checking websites have also been launched
by media organizations like the BBC and Channel 4. While this is a positive
development, digital media literacy and the ability to critically analyze information are
crucial skills for anyone using the internet, but especially for young people.
The necessity for critical thinking is highlighted by the abundance of information
available online and the advent of fake news. Critical thinking is something kids need to
4. start doing at a young age. As they begin their third level of study and are ready for the
workforce, young people need to learn this crucial ability.
How do you recognize false information?
Online, anyone can be duped by false information. When assessing internet
information, there are a lot of factors to look out for.
Who is telling the narrative, first?
Verify the legitimacy of the social media account that shared the article. A "blue badge
or check mark" denotes that the account has been validated, and is typically displayed
by public people and media organizations. This may imply, though it is not always the
case, that the post's information is more trustworthy.
2. Look more carefully.
Look at the story's source; do you recognize the website? Is the source reputable or
credible? If you are not familiar with the website, check out the "about" section or learn
more about the author.
Deliberate Mistakes and Visual Deceit
Deepfakes are fake videos produced with the aid of face-swapping, machine learning,
and digital software. Deep Fakes are synthetic videos produced by computers in which
photos are stitched together to create new footage showing things that never happened.
The results may be very compelling. Deep fakes differ from other forms of fraudulent
information in that they are more difficult to spot as fake.
