Exposure to false news creates fear, anxiety, and unnecessary stress, making everyday decisions emotionally exhausting.
Misinformation can trick people into scams, risky investments, or poor financial decisions, causing real monetary losses.
Sharing or believing fake news can lead to arguments, damaged friendships, and tension within families or social circles.
False health claims and unverified remedies can mislead people into dangerous treatments or ignoring proper medical care.
Fake stories can harm workplace reputation, create misunderstandings, and negatively affect careers or business decisions.
