00:31It's not enough that we know fake news and other types of disinformation.
00:35We should also know how to spot fake news.
00:40Always check the source.
00:42Who posted it? Is it a verified account?
00:45Is the account handle or username doubtful?
00:47Is the page or profile legit?
00:50Accountability.
00:52The writer should have a name and a real person.
00:55When in doubt, verify.
00:58Check other sources.
00:59If it matches with other trustworthy websites.
01:03Date.
01:04Sometimes, it's been a long time since it happened, but it's just confusing to your feed.
01:08For manipulated photos and videos, check the quality.
01:12Check if there are uneven lines, colors, and letters.
01:16If yes, you're in doubt.
01:18It's easy to verify.
01:20There are tools that conduct reverse image search and will lead you to the original source.
01:25For videos, if it's cropped and not consistent, it's probably fake.
01:30It was edited to create a fake story.
01:34To verify, get keywords used in the caption or check the details in the video.
01:39According to an expert, the more you share fake, the more you engage with it.
