misinformation mitigation

Misinformation mitigation involves identifying, reducing, and preventing false or misleading information from spreading. This process includes fact-checking claims, promoting credible sources, and using algorithms to detect and limit the visibility of false content online. It also involves educating people about how to critically evaluate information and encouraging media literacy. The goal is to create an informed public by making trustworthy information more accessible and reducing the impact of falsehoods that can cause confusion or harm.
