THE AFRICA RESILIENCE NETWORK, FAKE EXPOSE is a project of IWPR, the Institute for War and Peace Reporting. Disinformation and misinformation, and “fake news” are among the greatest dangers in these times of COVID 19. Not having access to correct information impacts on everyone’s ability to protect themselves against this virus. Many people are using social media, messaging apps and other media to spread false information and disrupt lives. Others innocently spread untruths about the virus because they do not have access to reliable information. Spreading false information about COVID 19 for whatever motivation is life-threatening.
COVID 19
has been with us only a short time but misinformation and disinformation has long been a danger to health and social cohesion. The speed and ease with which false information spreads is unprecedented as is the danger that it poses.
