Facts Instead of Fakes – We Share Verified Information

During a few weeks, we were preparing materials from all over the world, then we shared it in social media – because HumanDoc’s mission is to raise social awareness of global topic, to support economic, informative and democratic growth of the societies. To know more is to have bigger influence on your own choices and decisions.

However, in the time of pandemic, we’ve been observing an avalanche of unverified or untruthful information, even though during this hard time of isolation, reliable information is priceless. This is exactly why we decided to create a cyclic press review, where we share the articles, photo-reportages and other media materials from all over the world, which we considered valuable and worth recommending.

Our informative action encountered considerable enthusiasm and interest of the readers. Our posts reached a few, or even a few dozen thousand people. At the same time, the media giants also noticed an abundance of fake news and the necessity to fight for reliable information. BBC informed that according to the Center for Countering Digital Hate report, hundreds of posts which spread disinformation remained in the Internet.” In the BBC article we can read also that “On Facebook and Twitter, 649 posts were reported, including posts about fake medicines, anti-vaccination propaganda, conspiracy theories regarding 5G. According to the report, 90% of this content is still online without any alerts of warnings”.

Facebook press office has informed that in March and April around 90 million posts related to Covid-19 didn’t pass the verification test in terms of truthfulness and reliability.
