For both, you have to decide:

A. The item is correct

B. The item gets a warning attached

C. The item is deleted

D. The account is deleted

1. Correct!
2. Warning!
3. Delete!
4. Ban!

Case 1:
What do you choose?

Correct!

Warning!

Delete!

Ban!

Reflection

What were the questions which you asked when you had to
fact check the first case?

Reflection

What were the questions which you asked when you had to
fact check the second case?

Which other important things did you notice? Consider:

- Source criticism

- Consequences of fake news

Tracing/finding information on the Internet

Dit tweede geval gaat veel meer in op politieke opvattingen en normen/waarden. Feitelijke onjuist nieuws en/of maatschappelijk 'gevaarlijk' nieuws zijn soms uiteenlopende dingen.

Project

Drawing lots: fake news or journalistic news?
