However, 24% of the global population, upon encountering a hoax, chose to respond by clarifying the information on fact-checking news websites. These sites aim to provide explanations for news stories, ensuring the data presented is verifiable. Indonesia ranks third, after Egypt (49%) and Mexico (43%), with 41% of respondents opting to use fact-checking news websites when confronted with hoaxes.
In 13 out of 25 countries surveyed, more than 20% of respondents stated they use such websites. However, some countries show less reliance on these sites when hoaxes emerge. The countries with the lowest usage of fact-checking news websites are Japan (4%), Pakistan (6%), Germany (8%), and Kenya (9%).
