ACP

AAP

In the study mentioned, why were so many people fooled into trusting less reliable sources?

It is impossible to tell which is site is more reliable, so people had to just guess.

The people were fooled because they focused on what the site looked like rather than who was behind the site.

10

Why is it important to know who is behind a website (who is sharing this information with you)?

Knowing who is sharing the information and why they want to share it with us helps us understand how the information might be meant to push us into doing or believing something in order to benefit whoever posted it.

Knowing who is sharing the information helps us know who to hold responsible later if that information is false.

You should be skeptical of information that is not cited (no source for the information is offered)?

Ɛnyɛ ampa

Once you have decided that the source is credible, should you just take their word for it?

Yes, I confirmed that the source is credible. I "did my homework" so-to-speak. I can now feel confident that the information is accurate.

No, I should look at multiple sources. If I find the same information on multiple reliable sources, then I can feel confident that the information is accurate.

What three questions do fact-checkers use to see if a website's information is legitimate?

What do other sources say about the organization and its claim?

What is the evidence for their claims?

Who is behind this information?

What political party does the site's founder support?

10

Should we check the truth of information we agree with, with information we disagree with, or both?

We should check the truth of information we disagree with because that information feels wrong, and going with your gut is an important part of fact-checking.

We should check the truth of information we agree with to be sure that we aren't believing it just because we want it to be true.

We should check the truth of both information we agree with and information we disagree with because either could inaccurate or biased.
