2. The Impact of Social Media on Communication and
Information Sharing:
Social media has transformed the way we communicate, but it also
presents challenges, particularly in the spread of false information.

3. Causes:
Anonymity: Users can post without revealing their identity, leading to a lack of
accountability for the information they share. As mentioned by Collins et al.
(2020), anonymity grants individuals the courage to post fake or
inappropriate content without facing consequences.
Viral Sharing: False information spreads rapidly on social media platforms due
to their interconnected nature and the ease of sharing content. Guo et al.
(2020) noted that fake stories can quickly spread and deepen divisions
within communities based on distrust.

5. Solutions:
Stricter Regulations:

-Social media companies should implement more policies and algorithms
to detect and remove false information.
-Guo et al. (2020) suggested that through continuous control and
moderation of content, online platforms can greatly reduce the spread of
fake news.
Restrictions:
- Promoting digital literacy among users can empower them to critically
evaluate information and the fact from fiction.
- Aldwairi & Alwahedi (2018) emphasized the importance of digital literacy
in enabling users to identify and resist false information.
