Section 07 · Disinformation

Analysis of Disinformation and Hoax Phenomena

The war against hoaxes is our collective duty. We provide analysis on the patterns of fake news spread in society and show how to verify them systematically.

By understanding the anatomy of a hoax, you will become more vigilant and able to help your surroundings not be easily provoked. This section is our tangible contribution to building an information-aware society.

Learn Verification Ethics
Systematic Verification Workflow
Step 1

Check the original source

Trace the account or site that first published the claim. Find out who owns it and what their track record is.

Step 2

Compare with credible sources

Match the claim with reporting from credible media and official institutions. Note whether there is confirmation or denial.

Step 3

Check visual context and time

Images and videos are often cut from their original context. Use reverse image search to find the actual visual source.

Step 4

Spread clarification

After verification is complete, share the findings with your community in clear, non-accusatory language.
