If you're a parent, you might believe your child can teach you a thing or two about the internet. You wouldn't be wrong but did you know teens are more susceptible to online conspiracy theories and disinformation than you? Research shows that young people are increasingly exposed to disinformation and misinformation, and struggling to separate facts from fake news. It seems like the "online generation" is also the most vulnerable to the pitfalls of the online world and experts say that has dangerous consequences.
This episode was produced by Saba Eitizaz, Paulo Marques and Julia De Laurentiis Johnston.
