Statistics report on fake news worldwide
Fake news has been a prevalent issue for years, and is often worryingly insidious in how it spreads and reaches consumers. Whilst fake news cannot be easily controlled or stopped, consumer awareness and vigilance can help to prevent its dissemination, whether this means reporting suspicious content on social media or double checking the facts of an unfamiliar source before sharing it with others. This is especially important when it comes to social media. Whilst social media remains the least trusted news source globally, many consumers still get much of their news from such networks, and as such are more susceptible to fake news and either unknowingly witnessing or sharing inaccurate content.
