admin There is a circulation of fake information and rumors regarding universal pandemic coronavirus on many social media platforms and websites.
According to a foreign news agency, a recent report published by researchers at the Oxford Internet Institute found that 60% of information on the Coronavirus micro-blogging site Twitter was incorrect.
On the other hand, the report also cites information circulating on other social media platforms related to the Coronavirus, with 27% of Coronavirus related to the popular video streaming site YouTube, while the most popular social networking platform Facebook contains 24% incorrect information.
Researchers also found that 20% of Corona virus-sharing fake information was from politicians and other prominent figures.
According to the report, US President Donald Trump and Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro are among the politicians who shared the wrong information on their own social media accounts.
