What are some of the issues and challenges with finding information online? that you have to look at many platforms and verify if this is real or not 

Do you have any concerns about the online platforms you use? no LinkedIn is the most professional platform that I used and not easy to post fake information


 

What about the trustworthiness of online information? How did you find the Fake news game? Was it easy to spot the fake? Did you do any checks to verify the information? Or did you just go with your gut feeling? yes I can verify his qualification by selecting his badge to see if true also I research the current organzation he work at to check if his information is true

it is easy to check if it is fake news just verify where your information is coming from is it from a legit place such news channel or someone who was there?

I verified my information by checking his workplace information and seeing pictures of him there is also one contact person so I give him a call.

i think when it comes to search engine, validation need to be part of the main priority for the fact that more than 50% of the contact that we find on the search engine we have to go through different kind of platforms in order to verify that the contact is true and valid of which is time consuming
