Pay attention to the importance of critically perceiving the information flow.
If information causes you strong anger, fear, or anxiety, it is highly likely that you are being manipulated and misled at that very moment.
To protect yourself from such influence, you need to be guided by the principles of media literacy:
- Verify the source of information.
- Look for confirmation in several reputable publications.
- Analyse who benefits from the dissemination of such data.
- Ask the question: what facts are presented, and what facts are omitted?
Critical thinking is your best defence against disinformation.
