🧠 Challenge Digital Propaganda in 4 Weeks
💡 The Goal: Learn to spot, question, and stop the spread of misinformation, fake news, and digital manipulation — and help others do the same.
✅ STEP 1: Learn the Warning Signs
Train your eye to recognize propaganda and fake news:
- ⚠️ Red flags:
- Emotionally charged headlines
- No sources or fake ones
- Manipulated images or out-of-context quotes
- 🔍 Tools to help: Google Reverse Image Search, fact-checking sites (e.g. Snopes, EUvsDisinfo, PolitiFact)
Tactic: Each day, spot 1 questionable piece of content and check its source.
✅ STEP 2: Pause Before You Share
Build digital responsibility into your daily habits:
- 🧭 Ask 3 questions before sharing:
- Is it true?
- Where did it come from?
- Why am I sharing it?
- 🧘 Take a 10-second pause before forwarding anything
Tactic: Use a “Think Before You Share” checklist on your phone.
✅ STEP 3: Educate & Empower Others
Help your circle build digital immunity:
- 📣 Share 1 anti-disinfo tip each week
- 💬 Correct a myth or fake claim — respectfully
- 🧑🏫 Host a short “How to Spot Fake News” session with friends, family, or online
Tactic: Lead with curiosity, not blame — ask “Have you checked this out?”
