How to avoid misinformation, fake AI images on X, TikTok and social media

Misinformation often spikes before, during and after major news. Real-time news events will include a flow of disjointed information from the ground, such as smartphone videos and first-person narratives. Even if you see only legitimate posts, they can still be confusing or misleading — they may be the most compelling pieces of a puzzle, but they are not the whole picture. Try to augment any one-off clips or stories with broader context about what is happening. Mix in information from established experts on the topic, whether it’s foreign policy, cyberwarfare, history or politics. You can also turn to online or television outlets that add this context.
