Unfortunately, this is the reality of information on popular social media portals, that most information is further subdued by clicking "share" or "like" certain posts. Most users of popular social media portals such as Facebook, Tweeter, Google+, Snapchat and others do not verify the information they provide further by clicking e.g. "share".

Most users of social media portals do not verify the information contained in posts with sources of this information, they do not check the actual state of data sources, do not carry out research to confirm the truth and objectivity of passed, passed on to certain familiar information contained in circulating and duplicated in thousands. and millions of clicks on posts.

In this way, the scale of information noise and the ability of the hackers to influence the public opinion is created, duplicated. In this way, acting on behalf of asocial and undemocratic, determined large business and political centers, hackers carry out actions to manipulate the public through the mass creation of posts containing false information.

In addition, certain marketing companies operating in the Internet specialize in similar activities, which in addition to writing custom-made posts also write comments under certain existing posts on profiles created by companies and fans of specific companies, products and services.

In view of the above, if the issue of reliability and objectivity of information provided further and reproduced in posts was to be improved on social media portals, it should first of all increase the awareness of Internet users in the above matter. If users of social media portals begin to thoroughly check the credibility of data sources provided further in the posts of information, then the scale of information noise, fake news, lying propaganda, cynically manipulated public opinion will be significantly reduced.

Do you agree with my opinion on this matter?
