[Japan is “more likely to be deceived by false information” than the U.S. and South Korea, with many not checking facts…Yomiuri 3,000 people surveyed (Yomiuri Shimbun Online) - Yahoo! News https://news.yahoo.co.jp/articles/462a1bd776fd11cba 3902e74342638ea1168fcbd]
When contacted with information, 73% of respondents in the U.S. and 57% in South Korea said they “look up the primary source sources,” compared to 41% in Japan.
Those who were less likely to be deceived were “newspaper readers” and “those who obtain diverse information from multiple media. Those who read newspapers were 5% more likely than those who did not to be aware of false information.
I was going to look at the primary source, suspecting that the description of the article by this newspaper might be a “convenient interpretation for the newspaper,” but the source is not clearly stated. Is it disinformation?
