Ciampaglia in his passage “Disinformation and biases infect social networks, both intentionally and accidentally” explains that social networks are susceptible to misinformation, both intentionally and accidentally. Misinformation can be deliberately created and spread by individuals or groups with malicious motives, while biases can arise unintentionally due to the way people process and share information online. These problems can have negative consequences, such as the spread of misinformation or the creation of divisions and tensions in society. Therefore, it is important that social media users are critical and willing to verify information before sharing and disseminating it. In addition, social media platforms must take steps to combat misinformation and bias on their platforms by implementing policies and technologies that encourage transparency and accuracy of information.
I personally agree with the author, social networks are everything lately and the influence they have is immense, what people publish and the validity it has greatly influences how we take the news, in my experience controversies have been created due to misinformation Whether intentional or not, it is important to learn and understand how it works in society.
One thought on “Social Media”
To begin with for me Dazne or the author here is definitely in the right track when talking about misinfromation and malicious motives because most of the article/text talked about how ocial media can impact the real world and develops a game to aid users in spreading false information. Also, it clarifies the many classifications of biases and opens the door to a risk-free experience for novice social media users.
