Passage for Questions 6-10
The spread of misinformation online has serious consequences. During crises, false information can create panic and lead to poor decision-making. For example, during a public health emergency, misinformation about treatments or vaccines can put lives at risk. Social media platforms, while useful for sharing information quickly, often amplify unverified claims. To combat this, individuals must practice media literacy by fact-checking sources, identifying credible experts, and questioning sensational headlines.
