Misinformation: Can you STOP it?

False or misleading information—shared either unintentionally (misinformation) or to cause harm (disinformation)—has become a major issue. B.C.’s Human Rights Commissioner launched this campaign to raise awareness about how mis- and disinformation are damaging our society and what we can do to STOP it from spreading.

In short, mis- and disinformation harm all of us and are difficult to recognize. Let’s look at why that’s true—and what we can do about it.
