The dangers of unreliable information from social media
The rise of unreliable information on social media platforms has led to a polarization of viewpoints, particularly on sensitive issues such as the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. People are consuming context-less videos, often decontextualized and propagandized, which leads to a lack of understanding and misinterpretation of events. This misinformation is seen on both sides, but the consequences are more noticeably extreme from one perspective. It is crucial to recognize the risks of relying on these platforms for accurate information and consider the impact it has on driving extreme partisanship.
