## Resource

These days, with the internet and social media, we’re exposed to fake news more than ever, misleading or false information presented as fact, sometimes to influence opinion or create confusion. Sometimes it’s easy to spot… but not always. And it gets even trickier when it comes from someone we like or trust, like an influencer. With their reach and visibility, they can spread this kind of content, on purpose or not, and we often trust them more than the average user. So why do we trust influencers so much? What does that look like in real life? So why did so many people buy into it? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
