Kaspersky reveals that two out of ten people in Southeast Asia share news on social media without verifying it. A significant 28% of Generation Z (1997-2009) do so, the highest percentage in the study. Meanwhile, only 16% of millennials (1981-1996) share unverified news, the lowest percentage among the generations surveyed.

According to Beverly Leow, a psychologist at Mind What Matters, individuals driven to share information without checking its veracity are engaging in a form of self-protection. As netizens, they feel compelled to present themselves as informed and knowledgeable individuals, as cited in the Kaspersky report.
