Social Media's Misinformation Crisis Obscures the Truth During War

Social media platforms face a crisis of misinformation and disinformation during wars and conflicts, obscuring the truth.

Advances in AI are exacerbating the digital cacophony of falsehoods.

Trust in mainstream news outlets has declined, leading people to alternative partisan sites.

Images and videos quickly go viral before fact-checkers can debunk them.

Platforms like Twitter have removed guardrails against misinformation, so social media cannot be fully trusted for information.
