Expert warns digital platforms fuel spread of misleading content

Dr. Musaed Al-Muhayya, professor of television production and content creation, said that the information and narrative overload on digital platforms has created an environment conducive to the spread of misleading content.

Speaking in a phone interview with "Akhbariya Programs," Al-Muhayya added that one of the worst things today is when people share content that is actually misleading and harms our country and society, even as they believe they are doing good. This, he said, is exactly what the creators of such misleading content intend from the outset.

The professor also stressed that misleading content often drains our energy as we respond to issues that may not even deserve our attention. He pointed out that, in doing so, we may inadvertently promote these negative images, or believe we are acting positively for our society.
