Abstract

The article discusses the issues of misinformation dissemination on social media and its impact on student views. Based on the analysis of current approaches to studying information influence on public opinion, the main trends in shaping the consciousness of the younger generation have been identified. As a result of this study, it has been revealed that higher education institutions are not sufficiently involved in counteracting fake information on the internet and promoting digital literacy among young people. In response to this, the author has developed several practical recommendations.
