 It is very important to avoid fake news because then they can become misunderstood or have innocent people judged for something they did not do and they can try to harm the person involved in the false news, for example in a town they had done many murders and one person began to tell others that he already knew who he was and said his name, thanks to that all the people found out and ended up burning him alive. They did a study of 37 countries and Mexico was second in exposing false news. “In Turkey, 49% said they were exposed to false news in the last week, while in Mexico, 43% responded. It is followed by Brazil with 35% and the US with 31%. ”Young people in Mexico between 18 and 34 years old are the ones who least believe in the news. On social networks, websites like Facebook and YouTube are where there is more fake news.


The first thing you have to do is check where they got that information, for example, The universal, Excelsior, Millennium. These are some reliable sources to review the news and know that they are really real. They should check who it is, as, for example, people can already distort the videos so they think that the person in the video is saying something, but not really, and thanks to that they can see negative effects towards the person. In addition to the fact that many news pages do not tell the truth, they only tell their opinions towards the person and the tea will try to convince him that he is well, so you have to know when he is an opinion and when they are real facts.


The second thing you should check is in what other websites or in what other news it says that, because if you see a news on Facebook what you should do is check in other pages to know if this news is real, but they should not check in Wikipedia or sources how are you, you should check on reliable news or on reliable websites to know what is real. Thanks to the fact that many people believe in the fake news, they can like or send it to more people until the news is already around the world, so before doing something with that news you should check in reliable news to see if it is real or is fake


And finally what you have to know is that there are websites where you can write the news and it will tell you if it is false or true and there it will give you the reasons why they are true or false. politifacts.com is a page where you write the news and it will show you if it is true or false and it tells you fast, you don't have to wait long, t that says instantly and will tell you why that news is false or true.
