What tips do you have to spot if something is real or fake news?

TIPS! part 1

Check the source

Who posted it? Is it a reliable account? Look for a verification checkmark.

Read the comments

What are others saying? Sometimes you can tell from the comments if something is fake.

Find it elsewhere

Can you find the video on other websites? If it’s only in one place, that’s suspicious.

Check the date

When was it posted? Old videos can be presented as if they’re new.

Hear both sides

Listen to both parties before forming an opinion.

TIPS! part 2

Pay attention to strange details

Do you notice anything odd? Poorly edited images or blurriness might indicate tampering.

Use fact-checking websites

Sites like Snopes, Verify This or Nieuwscheckers.nl verify whether videos are real.

Ask yourself: is it too good to be true?

If something seems too extreme or unbelievable, it’s often fake. Be extra critical in such cases.

Compare with reliable sources

Is it also reported on major news sites like NOS or NU.nl or CNN or BBC? If so, it’s probably real.

Check the background information

Does the video provide sources or explanations? Without these, it’s often suspicious.

Why is there fake news anyway?

reason 1: money, money, money!

Clickbait: Some people or websites spread fake news to grab attention. The more people click on their articles or videos, the more money they earn through ads. This is called "clickbait," where sensational headlines lure people to click, even if the news is fake.

Views and followers: On platforms like YouTube and TikTok, videos with striking or shocking content can gain many views and followers, which sometimes leads to income or popularity for the creator.

reason 2: influence on politics

Fake news is sometimes spread to influence people's political choices or to sway them toward a particular belief. This often happens around elections or major political events.

Polarization: Fake news can be used to pit groups of people against each other. By spreading false information, divisions between different communities or nations are intensified, leading to greater discord.

reason 3. Misinformation and lack of knowledge

Not all fake news is created intentionally. Sometimes people share false information because they believe it to be true, without intending to deceive. This is called misinformation.

Lack of knowledge: People sometimes share fake news because they don’t know how to verify the truth. As a result, they unknowingly spread false information.

Other reasons

Jokes or satire: Some fake news is intended as a joke but is sometimes taken seriously.

Propaganda: Governments or groups sometimes spread fake news to manipulate people or discredit opponents.

Scaring people: Fake news can create fear, making people more likely to believe it.

Technology: New techniques like deepfakes make it easier to fake videos and mislead people.

is fake news dangerous?

People are misled: Believing fake news provides false information. This can lead to poor decisions, such as buying something ineffective or fearing something that isn’t real.

Fear and panic: Fake news can scare people, for example, by spreading false stories about diseases, disasters, or violence. This can cause unnecessary panic.

Dividing people: Fake news can create conflicts or mistrust between groups, leading to hatred and even violence.

Poor political decisions: Politicians and voters can make wrong choices due to fake news, impacting the country and everyone’s future.

Damage to reputations: Individuals or businesses can be falsely accused of things they didn’t do, ruining their lives or careers.
