-Do you have any problem to find information online

With develop of technology today. I have ever had a problem to find information online. I remember
when the epidemic happened and was very chaos. My family accidentally read a fake news about Covid
19 was not harmful, it was just as a flu season but I told them that Covid 19 was very dangerous and The
government announced that Covid 19 has a higher death than a flu season.

I Think fake news is a important issue. At its core “fake news” as those news that are false: the story
itself is fake, with no certifiable facts, sources. Sometimes these stories may be advertising that is
intentionally designed to mislead the reader or trick reader. Usually, these stories are created to either
influence people’s views, push a political plan or cause confusion and can often be a profitable business.

emotional reactions such as fear or anger. Keep calm and asking yourself– why was this story written?

anxiety, you should check it carefully and ask people around you about it
