How to see through network rumors?

In fact, most online rumors are prevalent because people lack basic critical thinking. In other words, many people receive a message, and after reading it, they don't care who published it, what the cause and effect are, and what the factual basis is. After reading it, they believed it. This has led to many obvious rumors on the Internet, which have spread from one story to another and even been screened.

Health care and social hotspots are the most concentrated areas of online rumors. The former captures people's fear of death and the latter captures people's curiosity. Most of these rumors were born for marketing or making money. Nowadays, traffic is money. Some "shocking" and "don't turn, don't come from China" get a lot of clicks and forwards, and these clicks and forwards bring economic benefits.

Today, with the proliferation of media, the first thing that needs to be established is that not everyone can believe what they send. We must pay attention to three points:

1, information source. Take health articles as an example. What issue was it published? Is he a hospital? Is it a health care institution? Is it a licensed doctor? If it's not the above, you have to take a closer look at this content, especially when you see an advertisement for a product under this article, or what health care products company this official WeChat account authentication machine belongs to. Generally speaking, the more professional hospitals, large health institutions, certified doctors or experts, the more credible the content.

2. Other comments on the Internet. Never just read the words of one family. With this point of view, go to Baidu, sogou and Zhihu to search and see how others discuss this matter. And at ordinary times, we should pay attention to collecting reliable information sources in various fields, such as popular science fruit shell network and healthy clove doctor.

3. Professionals around you or reliable platforms on the Internet. If possible, you can take this news to the relevant professionals around you for identification. You can also go to some platforms to inquire, such as the case information of selling children, and you can call the public security organ directly to verify.
