Misinformation are similar to rumors. Rumors are said to be dangerous and false information given out from people to others. Misinformation is dangerous because it can cause someone to die and lose the image of another. In this Ted talk, Mr. Aral gave an example that Syrian hackers gave a tweet that Obama was injured by 2 explosions. there were 4,000 re-tweets in less than 5 minutes. This is really crazy and is dangerous and maybe ruined Obama’s image in being a president. The rumor was spread really fast because the title caught attention to many people.
If rumors continue to spread, people will be against each other and argue/debate. The world won’t be peaceful anymore and everyone will be in different groups, divided. Spreading rumors aren’t good at all, they ruin the reputation of others and separate people from each other disagreeing on different things.
