It is one of the challenges we face with social media. And, just because lies can be spread so quickly doesn’t mean that our answer should be to not engage in the medium. Collectively we need to overwhelm untruths with the facts as they are. You and I can do that by being part of social media and sharing what we know.
Quote: The Internet facilitates the spreading of untruths
Lies, be they from politicians or just nefarious individuals need to be corrected
“A lie can make it half-way around the world before truth has its pants on.” Winston Churchill Winston Churchill never heard of the Internet or social media. He was dealing with the communications systems of the day. If what he said is true about the speed with which misinformation, even lies traveled back then, what must that speed of the lie be today? “A lie can make it to the moon, before truth has its pants on.”
