A report has found right-wing groups have been primarily responsible for spreading online disinformation about the coronavirus pandemic - spread nearly four times as much disinformation online as left-leaning voices.

It's not just older people either. On my Facebook news feed, people my age (late 20s), are easily falling for disinformation. Just today one of my friends shared an article with me. I wasn't familiar with the website it was posted on, so I decided to Google the website for more information. It was a Canadian conspiracy theory website. Why do people not check their sources????
