I also find that reframing the question may help a bit. For example it can be extremely overwhelming for somone who has little to no knowledge in a specific field to research (properly) let alone debunk fully. So one thing to consider is: "If you don't understand it, don't share it as fact!" which surprisingly many people do lol I believe that one tip alone might help at the very least minimize the virality of the spreading of misinformation
I didn't get into smartphones until about 2015 and I remember I used to write blogs and really think about future inventions that were realistic with the new technologies at the time .
And the same logic should apply to this video... but because she speaks with a confident, somewhat condescending, authoritative tone people will assume she’s right.
1. just because you see it online, doesn't make it true 2. stop and think 3. verify your source 4. do a reverse image search 5. if you can't verify it, don't share it
It’s great to see CNET focussing not just on tech but crucial items like fake news and how to spot and stop them. I am very happy to see this video and it shows how “society focused” CNET is…. Transitioning towards these videos also indicates a huge level of maturity of the channel and the eagerness and zeal to empower people to know what they’re looking @ on the net. Wonderful video, loved it.
Is this video a bad thing? Not sure if you are suggesting that or not? She's a reporter and is presenting the information either she did or another journalist. But I would think it is a good thing to remind people about misinformation and to explain why we think the way we do. Basic concept, but it's good to say
@@noahrhoads I would agree with that. Calling something false when there is no basis for it is wrong. However if a statement is made and presented as fact when there is nothing factual to support it it should be labeled as opinion or something along those lines. Thoughts?
I may think differently from the average person... But I have ALWAYS taken everything I've read on the internet with a grain of salt and always fact check.
Fake news could be easily combated, if articles, videos and photos, posted by legitimate sourced could have a NFT certificate embedded, which links back to the source of the content presented. This would show who the author is, and if there is no certificate its probably fake.
@@bobthepurpleninja she probably took political advice from a NY real estate salesman or Covid advice from a comedian. Now her ego is too big for her brain
Be skeptical. That’s it. Not in a negative way, but in a curious way. That helps clarify things a lot.
I agree watch but be the judge 🙏🏻

@@h.ar.2937 Spot on! 🙌
Turn off your tv for starters or at least listen critically to both sides of the stories. Research is invaluable.
Including state media and government press..
Think critically. And turn off your phone once in a while.
@@octavius8562 very true. Critical thinking is rare these days.

100%
I don't watch news lol and I'm so happy 😂
Me too friend 👍🏻
The inflation still gets to you right
Always check for primary sources. Be even more skeptical of things you agree with.
Do not believe the information is true for the first time. Have a second source or research it then believe
It's fooling everyone else. I don't watch tv
The worst offenders of spreading misinformation are the gatekeepers of information (journalists, politicians, experts, etc).
Step 1 if a supposed main stream media calls it misinformation it’s probably true
And the same logic should apply to this video... but because she speaks with a confident, somewhat condescending, authoritative tone people will assume she’s right.
I feel like the Destiny’s Child “Emotions” reference was just for me! 😂 I love CNET!
2:21 why didnt they edit that out?
Most comes from CBS, how long does will it take you to get that
1. just because you see it online, doesn't make it true
2. stop and think
3. verify your source
4. do a reverse image search
5. if you can't verify it, don't share it
But what if it's the "expert" that's perpetuating the lie? What do we do then?
Thats why TikTok is ban In india 🇮🇳
Who is this woman? Principal producer? How is she an expert?
She is an expert in being a shill for the Corporate Media.
so underrated video omg you guys make awesome content

Stopping misinformation sounds like Stopping freedom of speech.
thank you CENT for finally giving me a reason to unsubscribe
I want to know the people behind this video that’s pushing this, this lady can’t take all the blame🤑

@@StephenHierholzer problem comes when something’s labeled misinformation but wait 6 weeks and it’s truth.

This is a really good video, using this for my essay :)
for the young - don't tune out just because something seems negative. there's a ton of positive sounding crap out there.

Everything we hear should go through one ear and out the other.
Wow! This is brilliant Ma'am.
omg i need this for my project and i realized that it was released a few days ago lol
Story of my life.
2:55 what song is that?
Nice propaganda piece. 👍
"The Best Ergonomic Mechanical Keyboard on the Planet." Be skeptical in a curious way; it might be true.
It's brought to you in part by... CNET
Like cow farts are destroying the Ozone. 😉

This is misinformation
I steer clear of news 😇😇😇
How to tell Filipinos that I'm aware of what's happening there, without saying I know what's happening there 🤭🤭🤭
Hope the people who need to hear this will listen!
You heard it.
Pov: this is fake news
Try gasoline and styrofoam.
OK, OK,... BUT C'MON!! PELOSI IS ALWAYS DRUNK!! 😀
Just watch Russian state TV, definitely no fake news on there 🤣
Any “research” seems futile in this ever expanding universe of information. Probably better relax and trust your gut.
It's the peoples fault we're lazy and spoilt
I like this video 😂😂❤❤
Good point! These day we deal with too many misinformation. Many platform should filter many contents and give more credit to trusted publishers.

CNET=CNN
The war for urbraine. 🇺🇦
I'm going to take your advise and unsubscribe from your channel right now.
so true. some courage from CNET to make this video
Why? It’s simply telling you to verify news online to ensure you aren’t spreading false information. I don’t think you actually watched the video…
@@bobthepurpleninja She is being condescending and infers that news is not propaganda that must be questioned.
@@bobthepurpleninja she probably took political advice from a NY real estate salesman or Covid advice from a comedian. Now her ego is too big for her brain
@@winfredj9820 that would make sense if cnet spread fake news. Can you give me ONE example of fake news by cnet?
I like her
Bigfoot is real!!!!
