To combat the spread of misinformation during times of crisis, platforms should employ fact-checkers and increase user verification procedures. Additionally, users should be encouraged to flag potential misleading or false information, which can be vetted by the platform and fact-checked accordingly. Finally, platforms could consider algorithms which prioritize authentic news sources over others.
 
These solutions may reduce the spread of mistruths while still allowing accurate information to swiftly reach those in need. In this way, we can ensure that our digital media is a source of trusted news rather than a conduit for dangerous disinformation.

Social media platforms should put in place measures to verify and authenticate the sources of information shared on their platforms before they are published. This includes verifying the identity of people posting information, verifying the accuracy of documents or data being shared, and authenticating any claims being made. Additionally, social media users should also take steps to question the veracity of any claims they see on their feed and be aware that posts may be influenced by bias or wrong information.
