But with lives now more directly at stake with Covid-19, misinformation about the pandemic has brought the topic of fake news into the spotlight.\u00a0<\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ofcom.org.uk\/about-ofcom\/latest\/features-and-news\/news-from-social-media\">Today, in the U.K, 45% of people get their news from social media<\/a>. This is even higher for children. As such, social media platforms which have not been subject to the same content rules as TV, radio, print and other traditional news sources, are facing increasing scrutiny from regulators for their role in the dissemination of content.\u00a0 They have started to take some action.\u00a0 In March, <a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2020\/03\/16\/facebook-reddit-google-linkedin-microsoft-twitter-and-youtube-issue-joint-statement-on-misinformation\/\">Facebook, Reddit, Google, LinkedIn, Microsoft, Twitter and YouTube issued a joint statement<\/a>, in which they committed to helping people stay connected during the pandemic while also combating rising fraud and misinformation about the virus.\u00a0 The result has been a series of blocks around content, most recently including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2020\/10\/06\/facebook-removes-trump-post-falsely-comparing-coronavirus-and-the-flu.html\">Donald Trump\u2019s false claims about Coronavirus.<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p><p>Fortunately, understanding when a scientific claim is true is relatively straight-forward. Take for example, debunking the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/52168096\">myth that 5G masts cause COVID-19<\/a>. This can be fact checked by independent scientists and quickly shown to be untrue.\u00a0 But news and information can often stray from fact towards opinion. And in a world where we are looking to protect free speech, censorship of unfounded opinions can be a challenge.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p><p>This leads to important questions:<strong> What is fake news exactly? What is the difference between fake news and opinion? <\/strong>The debate continues with respect to the responsibility that content distribution platforms have when it comes to curating the content that their users share. No matter where you draw the line, <em>we are all consuming a daily diet of both fact and fiction<\/em>.\u00a0<\/p><p>And,<em> it\u2019s everyone\u2019s responsibility to spot fake news - a difficult job that is even more challenging for kids.<\/em> As Covid continues to spread, and with the U.S. presidential elections right around the corner,<em> now, more than ever, is a crucial time to teach your children digital literacy<\/em> - the right way to consume news.
