First off, we need to know the context of “false news.” There are two types of incorrect informations: misinformation and disinformation. Misinformation comes from a root that is not aware of the false information that they are spreading. They genuinely think it’s true. Misinformations can be hard to spot, because media informations are often educated, meaning that the misinformation may very well be disguised as the truth. You need to examine the information further, gather relevant evidence to see if it supports the information, check the date, and consult with an expert.

Disinformations are malicious false informations that are intended to be fake. This can often be a propaganda to manipulate public perceptions on a subject. You can check for disinformations by examining the sources because political medias often spreads fake news. Biases are also common in disinformations so look out for critical opinions from a given media.

Satires are also false news. Although it may not be vicious, it still presents itself as a false information. Check if it relates to humour or any popular modern references.

You can prevent false informations from spreading by condemning it in any ways, but only after you verify that it is false informations. You should correct others once you identify that they are under the impression of fake news. For misinformations, call out the information itself and try to correct it. For disinformations, call out the information AND the source of the information to prevent it from exerting more disinformations. Satires are usually harmless, but apply all rules above if you feel that it is irresponsible in the public perceptions.

Hope this helps!

Why did president truman decide to drop the atomic bombs on japan?
ElenaW [278]
While the United States began conventional bombing of Japan as early as 1942, the mission did not begin in earnest until mid-1944. Between April 1944 and August, 1945, an estimated 333,000 Japanese people were killed and 473,000 more wounded in air raids. A single firebombing attack on Tokyo in March 1945 killed more than 80,000 people. Truman later remarked, “Despite their heavy losses at Okinawa and the firebombing of Tokyo, the Japanese refused to surrender. The saturation bombing of Japan took much fiercer tolls and wrought far and away more havoc than the atomic bomb. Far and away. The firebombing of Tokyo was one of the most terrible things that ever happened, and they didn't surrender after that although Tokyo was almost completely destroyed.”

In August 1945, it was clear that conventional bombing was not effective.
