Let us work together to fight against misinformation. Remember, fake news is not allowed at the DSWD!
Here are some additional tips on how to identify fake news:
- Check the source: Make sure the information comes from a reputable source, such as a government website or a news organization with a good track record.
- Be skeptical of sensational headlines: Headlines that are designed to shock or outrage you are often red flags for fake news.
- Read the entire article: Don't just share an article based on the headline. Read the whole thing to get the full story.
- Check the facts: If you see something that seems too good to be true, it probably is. Do some research to see if there is any evidence to support the claim.
- Report fake news: If you see fake news, please report it to the social media platform where you saw it. You can also report it to the DSWD's official Facebook page.
Together, we can stop the spread of fake news and protect ourselves from misinformation.
