Awareness Of Fake News
Many children and even adults believe in everything that they see online. The truth is there may be videos that are not even real with the technology today.
There are many scammers that can spread fake news that can even affect our beloved platform to cause the cryptocurrency to drop in price.
Teaching our children to think twice before believing what they see online is important.
Just like the videoclip below about the eagle that snatched a baby was a clever animation created by a group of students for their school project.
The Source Of Information
Information that we find online may very often be fake news. There are many fake news being spread to enable profit by certain group of individuals.
Just like the stock market. Fake news is a good strategy to gain profit when buying cheap stocks and sell it high.
Negative fake news to cause major drop of price and positive fake news to cause major rise to sell the stock at a really good price.
Even facts can be manipulated through relationships of insiders.
In this corrupted world, we cannot believe everything we see or hear but we need to investigate the source of information and the reliability of it.
The credibility of past history of the source would often save us from wrong investment decision.
Probabilities Of Edited Information
When we receive an information, we must analyse the chances of it being edited to spread fake news.
The reports can be edited and we can never be sure until we investigate further on our own.
We cannot simply depend on what we hear but we must find all the facts before making a decision whether to believe the given information.
By weighing the chances of truth, we reduce our chances of falling into the trap of fake news.
We must teach our children and employees to identify the facts before jumping into conclusions that can often result in misunderstanding or conflicts among our staff.
In Conclusion
As a businessman, it is profitable to create fake news to market our products.
Through marketing strategies, fake news can become reality when there are many who believe and act upon the fake news resulting in product popularity.
As consumers or children, we must be wise to identify the chances of fake news and we must never believe everything to avoid scams.
