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.
