n today's digital age, the phenomenon of people believing

everything they see online has become a significant concern.

Numerous studies, including research conducted by the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), have shown that
the proliferation of fake news and misinformation on social
media platforms has led to a widespread erosion of trust in
traditional sources of information. The ease with which
manipulated images and videos can be created and shared
has made it increasingly challenging for individuals to discern
between fact and fiction. Moreover, psychological factors such
as confirmation bias and the illusory truth effect further
contribute to the tendency of people to believe false
information, especially when it aligns with their existing beliefs
or prejudices. This underscores the importance of media
literacy education and critical thinking skills in navigating the
complex landscape of information online.
