Abstract

This position paper summarizes the panelists’ presentations and discussions at the Panel “Fake News, Misinformation and Privacy: How COVID-19 Pandemic Changed our Society,” held at the 15 th International Conference on Information Resources Management (Conf-IRM 2022) on October 18, 2022. The Panel discussed their views on (i) how to stop the spreading of health misinformation, (ii) how information sources affect online health information behavior, (iii) how news literacy increases people's to seek out information by increasing their skepticism, and (iv) how political beliefs, trust, and privacy concerns affect people's decision during COVID-19.
