Initiative by the Federal Ministry for Family, Seniors, Women and Youth and the broadcast networks ARD and ZDF recommends that content should not be distributed on the Internet if there is any doubt about the truth of the content. https://www.schau-hin.info/sicherheit-risiken/fake-news-umgang-mit-falschmeldungen
