1261: Infodemic
WHO Infodemiology Conference and Information Control
The World Health Organization (WHO) is hosting its first annual "Infodemiology Conference" to address the "infodemic" of overabundant information. The WHO defines this as a public health threat and encourages citizens to "call out" people in their social networks who post "untrue" content. Recommended actions include spending less time online and only seeking information from "trusted sources" at specific times of day.
