Many online images are edited or taken out of context to mislead viewers. All fake images are clearly labeled to prevent misinformation. How does misinformation influence decision-making in real life? It has no real impact beyond the internet. It can shape public beliefs, influence elections, and affect health choices. It only affects people who are not well-educated. It mainly impacts entertainment news, not serious topics. Why might someone share false information even if they are not trying to deceive others? They want to test whether their friends can recognize fake news. They assume that if something appears on their feed, it must be true. They are trying to make people think critically about the news.

People might stop believing anything, even credible news sources. It prevents people from forming opinions. It makes people more likely to share false information.
