If both of us have access to the internet, it means that we both have access to a lot of information, and no one has an unfair advantage over the other. We can abide by the same rules and dance to the same tune.
But then, whatever we consume from the internet could also sway us into extremes of thought and divide us way more than it should connect us. Provocative fake news can sway us, and we can be caught in an information war.
So, in a world where all kinds of information are within reach, even the type that isn’t real, we must remain vigilant and keep our minds open. Because now, it seems that not everything we see in the media is real. Not everything that makes the most noise is the truth.
Growing up, I’ve heard people say that a repeated lie could make it sound true. And surely, it’s the same thing about the things we consume online. Here’s how liars create the ‘illusion of truth.’
