HOW TO SPOT FAKE NEWS

Fake news that is false. The sequence of fake news is constantly increasing day by day. You must have read some fake news somewhere or heard of it. We access fake news either through social media or through fake websites, which are real in appearance, but not really.

The category of fake news also includes photoshop-edited photos or incorrect figures given in an article. Many people have lost their lives due to their spread. Many such places have been seen in India that due to the wrong information spread from fake news, the mob considered an innocent person as a criminal and killed him.

People have suffered many kinds of losses due to fake news. Here the question arises as to who spread fake news or how it spreads. It spreads through you and us. For example, there are some posts on our social media that are fake, but we share them randomly, and it continues to be shared. There are many ways to identify the fake news that I am sharing with you.

FAKE TEXTS

If a message comes that contains only text and has not given a link to a trusted site, you should not trust it. If the link is not given, the chances of getting messages from fake news increases. For example, suppose we got a message saying that NASA has made a time machine. Now you have to check whether these are fake news or correct news. You searched the main keyword of this message on Google. If a reliable site has published this news, then it is absolutely correct, and if it is not printed, there is a 99 % chance that it is fake news. If it is fake news, then you should not forward it and also appeal to others not to forward it.

FAKE ARTICLES

If you read an article that has been published by trusted sites, it's articles will be 99% correct. If it is a present on other sites, then see if there is a link to any reliable sites related to the data given in the article. If a link exists, then it will be correct, and if there is no link, we cannot trust it.

Research from BBC News has shown that people often share health-related to articles randomly. He thinks that it will be good for the people, but sometimes it is fake news, which threatens the health of people. So you should stop a little and cross-check through the internet whether this news is false or correct, then share it.

FAKE EDITED IMAGES

Many times we see images that are actually photoshopped or edited, but we do not know whether they are correct or fake. We see in films that the actor is sitting in a dinosaur, but it is not in reality, but photographs are edited. Similarly, some such pictures have reached all of us. If we even have a little doubt on the pictures, then they can be faked.

After uploading, you will get many photos attached to or attached to it. If that image is uploaded by a trusted site, it would be correct, and if the images are different then you understand that the photos are edited, for example, you can see the picture above, in which the first one is correct and The second one has been edited, but viewing alone does not indicate that the photo has been edited.

Now the question also arises that there is nothing fake in this article written by me. No, as I have told in (how to spot fack article), in the same way, I have given a link to reliable sites under the data in this article too.

For more information, let me tell you that (paid for article) is a secure website on which you can read articles. No fake articles are published on this site. In the article, its link is also given along with the associated data.
