FRENCH TEAM :
Here are some helpful tips to be a good digital detective :
DO'S :
- First, find out who has written the article.
→ Is this written by a real person with a long history commenting on diverse topics or a fictitious-person created by an internet troll who targets conspiracy theories ?
- Then, ask yourself where the article has been published. Can you find the same information from another source, a more reliable one ?
- Reinforce core facts in the main text, using verified information.
- Warn about related conspiracy theories circulating before referencing them.
- Avoid cynicism but be skeptical.
- Think twice before you like or share an article on social media.
- Be Web Literate. Fact check everything.
- Contact the autor or the web manager with verified information and ask them to make corrections.
- Counter conspiracy theories by using logic and presenting
fact-based explanations.
- Comment with verified information (from fact-checking websites)
→ Use the site SIFT : Stop, Investigate, Find, Trace. You can also use Decodex, TinEye, or Hoaxbuster.com
DON'T :
Don't focus on the conspiracy theory first.
Don't reinforce it.
Don't overwhelm with information.
Do not share the link
Don’t buy into hate. Educate !
