If you see such information while visiting a website or in a group chat, the first thing you need to do is to check whether the information you have received has been published by a trusted news outlet or if any other website has published an article on the subject. Find out if. We know this is common sense but many of us do not do it lazily so fake news is shared with many people.

For example, you can read some updated news about the corona virus epidemic from various mediums. 

There is a point here, now it is natural for people to be acceptable if they write about something they are worried about. But as a conscious reader, you need to be more selective about what you share and from what source. So I will tell you to try to mention more than one source of any news.

See where this news is coming from

When in doubt, you should check the source of the news. Maybe, you are watching the news from a website or a page that is famous for spreading fake news.

Google searches for any news and shows a section called About this result which gives you an idea about the publisher of that news so that you can easily understand whether you believe that information and share it with your friends. However, this feature is currently available in the United States, you can see this option by tapping the three-dot button on the top of your story card.

View official fact-checker information

To make checking your fake news easier, you can browse the government fact-checkers website to confirm the authenticity of a particular fact or news. Moreover, the information shared using platforms like WhatsApp plays a very helpful role in this regard.

And Google has its Fact Check Explorer website through which you can check and choose fake news. After you visit the website, you will get an idea of ​​what you need to consider by searching for specific news authentication in the search bar or by checking the recent facts.

Check the context of any image

The easiest way to spread fake news is through fake news images. And using platforms like Instagram and Whatsapp, all these fake news spread easily. So we will not share the image of any kind of news as soon as we get it, first, we will confirm it from different media, we will share it by checking and sorting if the news is true otherwise we will try to make people aware by tuning the awareness.

For example, a fake image caused a riot or the image came from another event. As a result, you can easily get the context of that image and find out if such images have been shared before using the Google image search engine.

Cross-check on Map and Earth software

Another way to verify the authenticity of different content is to search for that information in Google Maps and Google Earth. For example, if an image claims the location of a particular building, you can instantly check the street view of the place on Google Maps or Google Earth to see the authenticity of the place.

So, we can follow the above steps to prevent fake neon from spreading on the web. Technology giants can reduce the reach of fake news by using artificial intelligence technology, and so we must be careful not to spread fake news. In addition, other social media giants such as Twitter are working on a new fact-checking feature called Bird watch that can easily detect and block fake news.

What is the importance of stopping fake news?

Before learning about the importance of stopping fake news, you also need to know why it is important to prevent the spread of fake news. You may know that fake news about the arrest of a boy has spread everywhere in Bangladesh and ordinary people have killed innocent people, so we have to stop fake news to avoid such untoward incidents. There have also been many incidents in our neighboring country India where many ordinary people have lost their lives due to being affected by fake news.
