Social media is a wonderful way to connect

Social media is a wonderful way to connect with people around the world, but if you're not careful, it can also be a breeding ground for misinformation.


That's why we're here to help. We've put together this handy guide to social media literacy so you can learn how to tell the truth from noise!

Social media is a powerful tool. It can connect us to each other, it can help us learn new things, and it can even help us make money. But there are dangers too. Social media illiteracy is when people don't know how to use social media responsibly. They might share misinformation or fake news that could harm their friends and family, or they might fall prey to scammers.


If you want to protect yourself from this kind of threat, here are some things you need to know:


1) Always check your sources! You need reliable information from reliable sources if you want to know what's true and what's not—and if you want to avoid sharing false information.


2) Don't just share content because you like it—make sure that the content makes sense and isn't misleading before sharing it on your own account or tagging someone else in the post!


3) Make sure that the people who follow you on social media are people who actually care about what you have to say! If they don't care about anything other than taking selfies in front of their bathroom mirror every day, then maybe they aren't really worth following anyway :)
