While its persistence may seem inevitable, its impact is not. We must help individuals develop an intuitive reflex to recognize common traits of manipulated information. This instinctive awareness forms the realistic foundation of robust digital literacy and critical thinking.

Moreover, in today’s fast-paced media landscape, people have a short attention span and limited time, while people naturally develop a psychological bias towards certain information sources, so disinformation will always remain a threat.

Efforts in cultivating their sense of responsibility, awareness, and knowledge of information manipulation must also start at a young age given the enduring threats of disinformation.

Instead, the focus should be on empowering young people to figure out how to choose what to believe, which will then inform how they evaluate, filter and disseminate information responsibly.

While top-down regulations are vital to ensuring a safer digital space, bottom-up efforts are equally important because people hate to be told what to believe.

As young people are also the most active users of social media platforms and future decision-makers of public affairs, youth engagement is self-evidently indispensable in shaping democratic resilience.

Young people are not merely passive recipients of information vulnerable to algorithmic influence. They also create, share, and amplify information, thus making them an active participant in the information ecosystem.
