Fake news spreads faster and more easily than this virus, and is just as dangerous.<\/a>\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/p><p>While the challenge of misinformation is not new, it has been a growing cause for concern, exacerbated by the rise of technology. In recent years organisations like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humanetech.com\/\">The Center for Humane Technology<\/a>, have cast a spotlight on the influence misinformation is having on our politics and society. But with lives now more directly at stake with Covid-19, misinformation about the pandemic has brought the topic of fake news into the spotlight.\u00a0<\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ofcom.org.uk\/about-ofcom\/latest\/features-and-news\/news-from-social-media\">Today, in the U.K, 45% of people get their news from social media<\/a>. This is even higher for children. As such, social media platforms which have not been subject to the same content rules as TV, radio, print and other traditional news sources, are facing increasing scrutiny from regulators for their role in the dissemination of content.\u00a0 They have started to take some action.\u00a0 In March, <a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2020\/03\/16\/facebook-reddit-google-linkedin-microsoft-twitter-and-youtube-issue-joint-statement-on-misinformation\/\">Facebook, Reddit, Google, LinkedIn, Microsoft, Twitter and YouTube issued a joint statement<\/a>, in which they committed to helping people stay connected during the pandemic while also combating rising fraud and misinformation about the virus.\u00a0 The result has been a series of blocks around content, most recently including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2020\/10\/06\/facebook-removes-trump-post-falsely-comparing-coronavirus-and-the-flu.html\">Donald Trump\u2019s false claims about Coronavirus.<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p><p>Fortunately, understanding when a scientific claim is true is relatively straight-forward. Take for example, debunking the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/52168096\">myth that 5G masts cause COVID-19<\/a>. This can be fact checked by independent scientists and quickly shown to be untrue.\u00a0 But news and information can often stray from fact towards opinion. And in a world where we are looking to protect free speech, censorship of unfounded opinions can be a challenge.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p><p>This leads to important questions:<strong> What is fake news exactly? What is the difference between fake news and opinion? <\/strong>The debate continues with respect to the responsibility that content distribution platforms have when it comes to curating the content that their users share. No matter where you draw the line, <em>we are all consuming a daily diet of both fact and fiction<\/em>.\u00a0<\/p><p>And,<em> it\u2019s everyone\u2019s responsibility to spot fake news - a difficult job that is even more challenging for kids.<\/em> As Covid continues to spread, and with the U.S. presidential elections right around the corner,<em> now, more than ever, is a crucial time to teach your children digital literacy<\/em> - the right way to consume news.

Children tend to be more trusting and naive than adults, so step one is letting them know that there are people who lie online.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><br>\r\n<\/li><li><strong>Teach your child to ask challenging questions. <\/strong>Encourage your children not to accept content at face value.\u00a0 Teach them to understand <em>why, how and what <\/em>has been shared with them, and to be critical observers of the content they consume.\u00a0 Encourage questions such as:<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>\u00b7How did you find the content? <\/strong><br>\r\n<strong>\u00b7How was it shared with you? <\/strong><br>\r\n<strong>\u00b7Do you trust who shared it?<\/strong><br>\r\n<strong>\u00b7Who created or wrote the content?<\/strong> <br>\r\n<strong>\u00b7<\/strong>Who might benefit or be harmed by it?<br>\r\n<strong>\u00b7<\/strong>Why did they make it? <br>\r\n<strong>\u00b7Is someone getting paid for this content? <\/strong>\u00a0<br>\r\n<strong>\u00b7<\/strong>What is the news not saying? <br>\r\n<strong>\u00b7Is part of the story being omitted?<\/strong><br>\r\n<strong>\u00b7<\/strong>Do you trust what you are reading to be true?<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<\/li><li><strong>Have your child check the source.\u00a0<\/strong><br>\r\n<\/li><li><strong>Look up the URL or site name.<\/strong> <br>\r\n<strong>\u00b7 <\/strong>Do you recognise or trust it?
