Preventing Misinformation On Social Media By Differentiating

In today‟s world, information and data are increasing at a faster rate than ever before. Some of the data and information are shared through social media by the general public. General public can now express their views, opinions, expressions etc. that can be read through by many people. With the above said, it is of importance to readers to know that what is being read is very much authentic, truthful and formal or is just a joke/statement in general/expression. In this paper I make a recommendation to prevent the spread of misinformation by means of differentiating between formal and informal information irrespective of the platform being used.
