There are some good tips in this article, about recognizing misinformation online, and stopping the spread. Worth reading!
Misinformation is false information that catches on — whether the people behind it intended to mislead others or not.
Disinformation is false information that’s spread on purpose. The people (or bots) who
put it out there have a motive. It could be financial, political or
plain diabolical. But it’s always intended to persuade someone to think
or do something.
Misinformation
isn’t new. But organized disinformation campaigns are becoming more
common online, and social media can help this type of content travel
much faster. Truthfully, we’ve all got a responsibility to help stop its
spread. On the bright side: It doesn’t require getting off the couch.
