Fake news "vaccine"

Chuxing — Mon, 08 Jul 2019 14:11:52 GMT

There are some interesting talks in "fake news vaccine":

on CNN:

https://www.cnn.com/2019/07/04/media/fake-news-game-vaccine/index.html

The idea is intriguing, I guess that gaming theory is where it should be explored, since fake news is a gaming strategy.

Excellent, create resistance by playing the game and awarding the winners with badges. Another interesting security awareness training, but will it catch on?

Badges? Did someone say badges?

Or are you just trying to trick me into reading this?

@rsladeAs if I would convince you to read further, within the original article "There are six "badges" to earn in the game, each reflecting a common strategy used by purveyors of fake news: impersonation; conspiracy; polarisation; discrediting sources; trolling; emotionally provocative content."

Yes there are badges involved. Convinced - no...
