Gabriel Narváez, a teacher in Ecuador, " incorrectly assumed teens do not know how to search for verified information online... they were able to apply their knowledge to identify small, false details in headlines and images." Indeed, "many of his students approach online content starting from a standpoint of permanent doubt." However, "whether they use such skills depends on their interest. They are more likely to apply their evaluative skills to a rumor involving a soccer player or a celebrity, but generally show little interest when it is related to a politician." That actually makes a lot of sense to me.
