We Are All Responsible for Misinformation Management

Over the last few months misinformation has been spreading almost as quickly as the coronavirus. Social media has been inundated with false claims and misleading statements. During times of panic and distress, people become desperate for some good news, even if that news is likely not based in reality. When leading figures like Tesla CEO Alon Musk or the President of the U.S. are among those spreading these outlandish claims or bogus statements, that is when things can go very wrong. Musk has shown us that with money does not come common sense and Trump has proven that with leadership does.
