We’ve already discussed how the Israel-Hamas war<\/a> is the latest conflict where people are poring over social media and news channels looking for updates on what, exactly, is happening. After all, whether it\u2019s news about our neighborhoods or communities on the other side of the world, the web is where we go to find updates.<\/p>\n

And it\u2019s another reminder that misinformation is often big business, and it\u2019s everywhere: fake news<\/a> and fabrications, half-truths and obfuscations, and flat-out lies and propaganda. The rise in AI-powered deep fakes<\/a> has only made the problem worse and increased the amount of untrustworthy content out there.<\/p>\n
