The World Health Organization and the United Nations have characterized this unprecedented spread of information as an “infodemic.”
* This advisory focuses on health information specifically, not other kinds of misinformation. Defining misinformation is a challenging task, and any definition has limitations. See References for further discussion of the definition used in this Advisory, including the benchmark of ‘best available evidence at the time.’
Additional research is needed to better understand how people are exposed to and affected by misinformation and how this may vary across subpopulations based on factors such as race, ethnicity,
socioeconomic status, education, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, cultural and religious practices, hobbies and interests, and personal networks.
Researchers have identified leading sources of COVID-19 misinformation, including misinformation “super-spreaders”
In particular, make meaningful long-term investments to address misinformation, including product changes. Redesign recommendation algorithms to avoid amplifying misinformation, build in “frictions”—such as suggestions and warnings—to reduce the sharing of misinformation, and make it easier for users to report misinformation.

I still couldn't explain Critical Race Theory (CRT) if someone asked me what it's about. I figure its just another silly fad that will pass. No desire to clog my limited mind with any fads, at this stage of life.

U.S. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken took to Twitter late Tuesday evening to call for what looks like a United Nations investigation into racism in the United States. Not past racism or slavery, but “contemporary” racism.
Instead, it’s asking the unelected head of a United Nations office over to do…what, exactly? That’s not clear.
