Is everything on the internet true

Hi my friend. Not all in the internet is true. That is why it is important to be critical at all times.

Anyone can post anything on the Internet and there are absolutely no 'quality checks' on its truth or accuracy unless, of course, the person posting the information is reliable and has done their own checking. There are some sites which we can learn to trust but there are many whose veracity is, to say the least, questionable. From the Internet I can learn, for example, that the Earth is flat, that the terrible destruction of the World Trade Center in September 2011 was an 'inside job' or that unicorns exist.

Before trusting and believing you should go to sites that are genuine.

I do a lot of research on the web. I don't look at just one site, but many, and if they are all in agreement, then I expect it's true, though I know not everything on the Internet is true. It's good to research and check many sources to get the truth of the matter.

Not everything that we see and read on the internet is true.. actually most of it are fake... like what @hereandthere have said that even reviews about products, places or people are not all true because i believe that some of them are paid...

About 40% in internet is fake but you can still find a websites where news are real.

Yes, IF it's on the internet... It Must be true!

Internet is the sourse of exposing the lies of Presstitute paid mafia media, sharing real news by people, and also a place of spreading rumors and lies. I always check first and then come to a conclusion.

Not all you can is is true. You have to check the website and verify it

I double check when I want important information. We should not take them at face value - siva

No but more problematic is the fake news on whatsapp

Not everything is true my dear friend.

No my friend, some information we found there is not true..

Definitely not everything on the internet is true, a lot are misleading. But there are site that earn respect from the users.

You need to your wisdom and experience to check if the information you are gathering through various sites have some veracity or not. If you are in doubt, cross check it with some authentic source.

When I was younger and the internet wasn't so poplar, I thought everything on there was true. But now I don't believe everything I read on the internet.

I feel that most of the things are true while a huge percentage is just scam

I think in one way or another everyone knows that not all you read in the internet is true.

I don't think so. I think you should really make a thorough research on anything you want to know.

Nope. A lot of information in the internet are inaccurate. Anyone can just post information and claim it as the truth. Sadly, a lot of people post/share stuff without even confirming it, leading to misinformation.
