This phenomenon is causing a mix-up between misinformation (unintentional errors) and disinformation (deliberate falsehoods).
For tech enthusiasts and early professionals across South and Southeast Asia, this is a wake-up call. While diving into innovative tech trends is exciting, it’s important to pause and verify before sharing that viral clip. After all, in a digital era powered by clever AI tricks, fact-checking is the armor we need to prevent the spread of deceptive content. 🚀
