Nowadays, disinformation is a big part of social media world as well as fake news. Each of us came across souse information, unconsciously spread by others. Learning how to counteract, fake news is one of the most important skills for an active citizen in today’s world.

In a conclusion, would like to outline the seriousness of this situation in a world that is inevitably moving towards greater digitalization. The ability to resilience disinformation is a skill that one day may even save our live.
