social networking platforms where anyone can share any
information or
news he or she likes.
Q. Do you think there is too much information online?
Answer:
Yes, I would say that there is indeed too much information
online since virtually everybody and every entity are free to
place all
kinds of information on the internet without worrying too much about
their authenticity. Moreover, the same information could
be found on an
overwhelming number of websites and portals.
Q. Which sources do you usually use to get information from
online? [Why?]
Answer:
Well, it depends on what kinds of information I am looking for.
But, in most cases, I try to use the “Google” search
engine to find all
kinds of information in general unless I know about a specific website or
webpage that could provide me with that information. But obviously,
after Google presents me with a large number of search results, I try to
browse the most renowned and authentic website
to extract information
that I need. Anyway, I use Google search engine and Wikipedia because
they seem to have answers for virtually everything.
Q. How do you verify if information or news is true that you get
from social media platforms?
Answer:
Well, as far as
I am concerned, I take several factors into
consideration to verify the authenticity of the news on social media
primarily because in social media platforms anyone can share anything. I
consider the sharer (who has shared the post), content (what the topic
is about), verifiable source (can the information be corroborated from
other sources?) and age (the age of the account)
before relying on news
from social networking platform.
