The fake news is becoming increasingly common in the era of social media. What problems will it cause to individuals and the society? Suggest some measures to deal with it.
There is no doubt that these days a lot of
news
is not real. The question is, what are the consequences of this
problem on both individuals and society? In this
essay, I am going to discuss these consequences and also
provide some suggestions and regulations in order to solve this
issue.
In terms of problems, fake news
could lead to an increase in the rate of ignorance of the overall
society. The main reason given to support this
claim is that when individuals believe fake news
, this
causes them to build completely wrong beliefs. Accordingly
, they will react or think based on these beliefs. To illustrate, in some countries such
as Egypt, which is my own country, many people
tend to believe fake news
or videos as genuine. When I was scrolling on Instagram, I saw a video in German language, which had a completely incorrect Arabic translation. Surprisingly, people
started commenting on that video with many arguments and debates - based on the wrong translation.
Moreover
, fake news
could come from anywhere, including TV shows, articles, videos, or even false scientific information. In order to address this
problem, regulations on social media content must take place. There must be, for example
, a good AI or an algorithm that prevents the fake information from being shared with other users. Secondly
, people
must pay a fine if they intend to spread fake news
. Another solution is that individuals use their common sense to differentiate between the real and the false information. In fact, they should rely only on credible resources, such
as CNN or Extra News
.
In conclusion, it is evident that fake news
is becoming so popular nowadays, and so people
's ignorance is increasing. Therefore
, both governments and social media companies must ensure steps are taken to prevent this
phenomenon from deteriorating further
