1. Don't believe in fake news

In this information age, fake news is rampant across social media platforms. It could be health or politics-related. Speaking of elections, culprits commonly targets a good candidate. Some people may find it difficult to distinguish which is fake or real. 

According to IFLA (2021), we can identify legit news by checking the following: 

• The credibility of the author and media outlet
• The date of publication of an article
• The quality of work
• Backed by experts

If we vote for a candidate who benefits from fake news, there's a higher chance they will fool us once they acquire a seat in government.
