    Despite the educational value interesting facts promise to deliver us, it’s important to remember to double-check them and the sources they are coming from. This is because fake news spreads six times faster on social media than real facts. By trying to generate as many clicks as possible or even influence political views, it can be particularly dangerous.

    In a previous interview with Bored Panda, Daniel Markuson, the cybersecurity expert at NordVPN, said that although there’s no foolproof method to separate truth from fiction, the best thing to be safe is to check the source’s credibility. “This particularly applies to social media platforms because they are optimized to increase engagement and lack appropriate gatekeeping features that filter out misinformation.”

    ADVERTISEMENT

    Daniel argues that it’s vital to weigh the claims against other sources. “If a publication makes monumental claims that are exclusive to that platform, do not take them at face value."

    It’s important to be aware that unreliable news sources sometimes impersonate well-known ones by misspelling their names in the URL.

    “Similarly, they might use unconventional domain extensions instead of the usual “.com” or “.org.” In general, make sure that your news comes from established, well-known sources. These types of outlets get information directly from primary sources and must uphold their reputation,” Daniel told us a while ago.

    There were a lot of unexpected heroes during lockdown, and he was definitely one of them. He made sure his students, and others, received the nutrition they needed to stay safe and healthy during their time away from school.

    If you’re still not sure whether the source is credible, you may want to look into the author and research them in order to be sure their credibility is up to par.

    This, of course, requires extra effort rather than mindlessly devouring information online, but “it is also important to weigh our own perception and not let our biases skew our understanding of events.” Daniel’s advice was to seek out differing opinions and try not to associate facts with ideological dogma.

    Doesn't work, perpetrators don't think of getting caught. Also if a hard punishment would prevent crime the countries with the death penalty would have less crime but they don't.

    News reports say that she forgave him when the dr. asked if she wanted to go ahead with the punishment. I guess that means they didn't do it after all, unless the news is wrong.

    you shouldn't return evil with evil. no one deserves this kind of pain, no matter who they are. and just because he did an imaginable thing to her, doesn't mean he deserves it back. he should of course be in jail, and maybe have even further punishments but not this. this is inhumane.

    If it is a violent crime, I believe that the Punishment should be the same....especially in the cases of rape and murder! No more 'slap on the wrist' or life in prison...with or without parole. The old West had it right. Murderers got hung...very soon after conviction... None of that appeal deal either!

    Payback does not work. Revenge never heals. There will always be that empty pain, anger, and feelings of loss. Payback takes you to a dark place that is VERY difficult to come away from intact. You will never find peace in that place.

    She should have been allowed to dump it on him just like he did to her. No immediate medical help, no chance to escape disfigurement. If women did this to men that upset them the world would lose its collective mind. As it is, I'm surprised they allowed her a day in court. Most often she's shamed for not going along with his psychotic demands.

    OK, Bored Panda… got your facts mixed up sort of. That’s the victim in the picture (holding a picture of herself). The man was ultimately pardoned (by her). There was a man who had a similar fate in 2015. He threw acid in another man’s eyes and his victim was not as kind, however the victim did permit him to retain one eye.

    The victim basically has no rights. Eye for an eye would absolutely reduce the crime rate. I am sure all the human rights activits groups would have issue with it. Too bad our bodies dont record the last hour of our lives.

    Interestingly the Sharia Law is so harsh that make crime rates go down significantly. Not the type of punishments/punishers but the "fear" factor in society looks like in "Purge" movie.

    I don’t think that’s the case. Women tend not to report rape for example as they make themselves open to prosecution for fornication. As a woman the punishment would be greater, and they’ve incriminated themselves by the act of reporting. Sharia states are not crime free paradises

    When asked about the reasons why fake news has become so widespread, the cybersecurity expert said that it’s “due to factors that concern both the content of the messages and the technological foundation of platforms on which the news is proliferated.”

    ADVERTISEMENT

    Moreover, fake news not only typically involves current affairs but also often makes remarkable and emotion-inducing claims. “This, combined with the fact that social media platforms collect data on what kind of posts users spend the most time on and feed them content with similar characteristics, provides the perfect conditions for the spread of misinformation,” Daniel concluded.

    And that's a big part of why some homeless people in the US refuse to go to shelters; their pets will go into overcrowded city and county shelters. For others, the problem is that their kids will be taken. If we're gonna tackle this problem, we have got to start seeing homeless people as PEOPLE, not just trash to be cleaned up.

    nope, not an odd chemical reaction. it's basically a diy skylight. in many villages where electricity is scarce, it can be pretty dark in some corners of homes and huts even during the day. so a diy skylight could help solve that problem. you drill/cut a hole the size of a coke bottle, fill it with water, a bit of bleach to keep the water from getting gross (and thus less transparent), and use a construction adhesive to secure the bottle and keep out rain. groups like "liter of light" [https://literoflight.org/] have helped pioneer this method around the world. they also get solar powered lights into the hands of those in need.
