Fake news on social media 


  1. (Facebook 2018) Lottery winner arrested for dumping $200,000 of manure on ex-bosses’ lawn - Misinformation

  2. Bleach cures autism - Disinformation

  3. Wearing mask risks your health during COVID 19 - Malformation


  • Misinformation is when the information you see is false, however it will not affect you

  • Disinformation is to manipulate you in order to cause harm and damage to you

  • Malformation is true to only a small extent but it is exaggerated so that it can mislead you and can cause potential harm


How do you deal with or respond to fake news?


  1. Verifying the source to see if it is from an official news source

  2. Search up multiple sources to see if there are lots of stories of the incident

  3. Report the news if it is fake

  4. Don’t get involved at all as it can have an affect on you as the websites can contain malware to infect your computer


What are the major differences between Thailand’s and Finland’s policy in regards to Fake News? Which approach do you prefer and why?


The major differences:

  • Thailand has the Government has applied strict laws to fight against fake news, however Finland has laws protecting freedom of speech so people may say whatever they want.

  • Thailand has Government control over what the people see in the media, nevertheless, the Government of Finland allows their people to operate news channels themselves.

  • Thailand does not emphasize as much as Finland about educating people about fake news and how to deal with it.


I prefer Thailand’s approach towards fake news as people in the country are not as privileged as people in Finland to afford education and it would be difficult to control the people as the population of Thailand is also much higher compared to Finland’s. Therefore, I believe that both countries show a good approach of their own depending on the situation of the country as each country’s situation is different.

About me

Hi my name is Pat, I have joined ABAC on January of 2024. My faculty is BBA and not sure of what I want to major in yet. I have lived in Thailand all my life in Chonburi province so I am still getting used to my life in Bangkok.  Before coming to ABAC, I completed my iGCSE's and AS level along with IELTS, GED and SAT it was a long road but I felt like it was worth it as I have made many friends and experiences in the process. My hobbies are mostly playing sports, I mostly enjoy playing tennis and badminton. So if you ever want to play these sports with me, let me know.  I occasionally cook and bake as a way of overcoming my boredom as the campus is far from the city and there is not much to do around here, which is why I often go back home during the weekends.  Some rights reserved BBA1102 - Individual work - Lab 3 Survey for ABAC students: https://forms.gle/g7aLELaHe9APN9kw6 Some rights reserved BY: Give credits to me when you remix, reuse or when you share my work NC: Do not use
