Fake eller fakta? Og er det egentlig så farlig?
Klarer du å avsløre fake news?
Da Russland invaderte Ukraina ble tusenvis av bilder og videoer spredd i rekordfart i sosiale medier. Mange unge fikk sitt møte med krig i sosiale medier i det som av flere ble omtalt som «Den første Tiktok-krigen». Men flere videoer viste seg å være falske, og svært vanskelig å avsløre.
12.08.22
Desinformasjon og falske nyheter truer sikkerhet og demokrati. Hva er løsningen?
Med krigen i Ukraina kom falske nyheter og desinformasjon nærmere oss. Falske nyheter og deep fake ble tidlig våpen i krigen, og falske videoer ble spredd i rekordfart – også her i Norge. Krigen og den geopolitiske krisen har dermed forsterket behovet for en samlet innsats mot falske nyheter og desinformasjon.
