What I Learn?

Stories online can actually be fake. Checking facts is not enough to figure out the truth. A world where companies, people and more can share fake stories online. Only one story can be real but people shares the story because they think it's real for everybody else. It's not always true. This is what post truth is all about. But because fact checking might not even help out on finding out whether or not it's all true. Because it's a truth for one person or one story. Then you accept that it's the truth in the end... just by trying it out or something. A story that's not a fact, can turn to a fact into a data that's not real... and well... you get it in the end. It helps to challenge yourself on finding out what is real and what is not. Seek other viewpoints, listen to experts, etc. Always be sure to find out every way to see if something is true or not. Basically, make sure what you find out is real or not. Be very careful what you share about what you find online.

What I Think?

I have seen so many posts online that was shared and people are willing to believe things that could be only one story but not for others... it can always be misleading to find something that is about health or science or anything online without finding out if it's real. The best solution is do your research about what you find online. It's sad that many people don't do research on something before sharing it... because if you shared something, it will spread like wildfire. My advice from just watching this... Do not share until you are sure that it is real.
