01:00On Instagram, I can call myself microbiologist, I'm not.
01:03Researchers warn that it only takes a few social media posts for users to form strong opinions on a topic
01:09they know nothing about.
01:10The threshold for people to start believing that they are experts is very low.
01:15If you are exposed to five to seven consistent information points, you start acting like an expert.
01:23So whether that information that you are getting is true or false does not matter.
01:27Information which is legitimate and provides further important context, but which reaches social media users later on, risks having very
01:34little impact on people's opinions.
01:36You become an expert and once you start thinking like that, you believe every other piece of information that is
01:42fact checking or questioning your beliefs as an attack on your personality, as an attack on your core beliefs.
01:48And your own beliefs get stronger and stronger. It doesn't get weaker.
