Together we can surmount the extensive amount of daily social
media manipulation, and learn how to ignore fake news and decrease the amount
of hate published by the Cyber Troops.
What are Cyber Troops?
These are the entities that take advantage of the easiness of
creating social media accounts and the inexpensive availability of platforms
for propaganda to spread manipulated content that leads to chaos and hate.
Amplifying fake content, and spreading misleading news can be
caused by other social media manipulation components such as fake accounts,
bot-controlled and hacked accounts.
How to manage or oppose such sorts of activities?
Awareness and cyber-education are the main armaments to win
this challenge.
1- Don't believe everything published on social media feed
unless you check the credibility of the publisher.
2- Strengthen your social media account security, and the
less you publish personal and private information, the more you are protected.
3- Be selective when accepting friend requests and following
social pages.
4- Don't overpass the privacy policy of the social pages.
5- Report fake news and accounts, avoid sharing hatred
content, and the most important thing is to double-check the content resource
before reacting.
