In addressing the pervasive issue of disinformation within the digital landscape, citizenship education must evolve to emphasize the cultivation of critical digital literacy skills. This involves not only teaching individuals how to discern reliable sources from misinformation but also fostering a deeper understanding of the underlying mechanisms driving the spread of false information online. Citizenship education can incorporate lessons on cognitive biases, echo chambers, and the algorithms shaping our online experiences. By equipping individuals with the ability to navigate the complexities of the digital realm, citizenship education empowers them to be proactive, discerning participants in the online discourse, thereby mitigating the harmful effects of disinformation on society.
