Tim Cook: Fake News Is Eating Into People’s Brains

He said that just as the world’s awareness of global warming should be raised, people’s awareness of fighting fake news should also be raised.

CNET Technology Information Network February 14 International Report: Recently, much fake news has dominated public opinion to a considerable extent, making it difficult for people to access real information. On Friday, local time, Apple CEO Tim Cook told the British Daily Telegraph during a visit to London that he believes fake news is “eroding people’s minds” to some extent.

Cook firmly believes that this problem is severe in most parts of the world, and everyone needs to be more aware of this.

He said: “Whether it is in schools or public places, the awareness of false news must be deeply ingrained.” Cook also called for a “large-scale event” for everyone, but what form this event might take Woolen cloth?

Cook explained: “We need to launch a modern public service promotion campaign. As long as we are determined, we can do it soon.”

But whose determination does he need? Presumably, major technology companies may be involved. Cook believes that technology companies need to invent some tools to help them eliminate fake news.

He said that just as the world’s awareness of global warming should be raised, people’s awareness of fighting fake news should also be raised. Cook said that it is those children who are preparing to learn and absorb information from the outside world for the first time. After reading some information, they will persuade their parents to do something accordingly.

Cook said: “In some ways, educating children is the easiest. At least until a certain age, they are mostly in listening and understanding (mode).”

However, I am not sure whether Cook’s public service promotion activities will work so easily. After all, people are now more and more enthusiastic about believing what they want to believe, and at the same time, doubting anything that goes against their beliefs. They will undoubtedly look at the world through their own subjective perspective.
