Information sharing generally aims to engage its audience, but not all information is transparent and authentic. From clickbait to false narratives, information can be tainted with conflicts of interest, fallacies, and hidden agendas. No matter the intended messages, hidden or authentic, how people respond to such information can have a profound effect personally and professionally.
