Really impressed with how Finland is "arming" the public with the tools to combat misinformation: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/jan/28/fact-from-fict...

Hint: They start real early.

Also this (from article) : "Fake news, Kivinen said, is not a great term, especially for children. Far more useful are three distinct categories: misinformation, or “mistakes”; disinformation, or “lies” and “hoaxes”, which are false and spread deliberately to deceive; and malinformation, or “gossip”, which may perhaps be correct but is intended to harm."
