To ensure the dissemination of false information is avoided, and that only accurate information is shared, organizations should follow a few simple steps. First, fact check information before it is published or shared to ensure its accuracy. This should be done by multiple individuals to avoid mistakes. Furthermore, it’s important to provide citations and/or links so readers have access to the original source of the information themselves. Additionally, educate the public on how to spot false news and how to report inaccuracies that they find online. Finally, use social media platforms carefully — these same platforms can quickly spread falsehoods but can also be used strategically as a marketplace of ideas providing balanced access to trusted sources of accurate data or content.

One way to ensure that accurate information is shared is by verifying facts before sharing them, and avoiding sharing information from untrustworthy sources. While it may be tempting to share content that supports your opinion, it's important to do research to make sure that the source of the information is reputable and reliable. Additionally, media literacy education can help people become more aware of how false information is disseminated and how they can spread accurate information instead.
