Let's be honest, when we're cruising through our feeds, sharing or liking baby pictures and cat videos, we don't always have our critical thinking caps on, especially when confronted by emotional appeals. But how do we stop falling for and spreading bogus information? Disinformation is the deliberate spread of verifiably false or misleading content to gain financially or to deceive the public.
