Description
Inquiry Overview:
Students will examine their thoughts and attitudes about online misinformation and their role as citizens. They will review key components of Germany's Network Enforcement Act (or Facebook Law) to determine if this type of law would be helpful or harmful in the United States. By the end of the inquiry, students will be able to identify the consequences of fake news and take a position on whether government intervention is needed to help minimize misinformation.
