Graphic with icons - one is a hand writing on a piece of paper, another is two hands holding a book, as if to indicate one person is giving it to another person; another icon is a person reading a book.

🔎 These are common tricks of context that bad faith actors use to spread #misinformation. Our poster breaks down how to debunk such falsehoods.

DETECTING TRICKS OF CONTEXT. People who create misinformation designed to go viral on social media have an array of tools and tactics at their disposal. Simple tricks of context are one of the most common, mostly because they are effective and relatively easy to produce. For example, removing an authentic visual from its original context and presenting it with a false claim is a low-effort, effective tactic to mislead people. Visuals paired with text can feel like compelling evidence – even when they’re not. Watch out for these four common tricks of context and use these tips to avoid being fooled. ● False context: Presenting genuine media in an entirely new, false context. ● Misrepresentation: Presenting accurate facts or genuine visuals in a misleading fashion. ● Stolen satire: Presenting satirical content as if it were accurate information from a reliable source. ● Selective edits: Removing essential context from a piece of media to create a false understanding of an issue or event
