55% dos brasileiros já repassaram fake news sem saber, diz pesquisa

80% afirmam já ter recebido fake news pelo WhatsApp e Facebook Freepik

Uma pesquisa realizada pelo dfndr lab, laboratório especializado em segurança digital da Psafe, aponta que 75% dos brasileiros já foram impactados por notícias falsas – destes, quase 80% pelo WhatsApp e pelo Facebook – e 55% já repassaram fake news sem saber.

Do total de entrevistados, 45,94% afirmam já ter recebido informações falaciosas sobre saúde. Para o diretor da dfndr lab, Emilio Simoni, este é um reflexo claro do momento que o mundo enfrenta atualmente.

“Na ânsia de ter uma solução rápida para o problema tão falado e tão sério, as pessoas acabam acreditando cegamente nas notícias que recebem”, afirma. “Os riscos para esses que seguem fake news sobre saúde são muito mais graves do que para aqueles que acreditam em outros assuntos, podendo até mesmo significar perigo para a vida.”

Outros 33,57%, por sua vez, dizem já ter sido impactados por notícias falsas sobre política. O dado também preocupa o especialista. “Com a proximidade das eleições no Brasil, é possível que haja um salto neste número nos próximos dias.”

De acordo com a empresa, os principais cuidados que devem ser tomados para enfrentar o problema são sempre verificar a fonte e a data de veiculação de uma matéria – é possível que a notícia seja, sim, verdadeira, mas esteja fora do contexto da época – e nunca compartilhar links sem checar sua veracidade. Para quem desejar um mecanismo extra, vale ainda instalar uma solução de segurança capaz de identificar links de fake news.

A pesquisa entrevistou 70.333 brasileiros, usuários do aplicativo dfndr security, em 2020, e as projeções utilizam como base o número de brasileiros usuários do sistema Android no país, que seriam 131,1 milhões de pessoas.

Duke Kahanamoku reflects on surfing, Olympics, and old Hawaii in 1966 interview

Duke Kahanamoku is the most influential surfer of all time and is often hailed as the father of modern surfing. There is nearly no one questioning these titles. Recently, Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) Hawaii unveiled a never-before-seen interview with the legendary surfer and Olympic swimmer. In the 1966 episode of Pau Hana Years, a seminal Hawaii television program that aired on KHET-TV (now PBS Hawaii) for 16 years, running from 1966 until 1982, Bob Barker chats with Duke Kahanamoku, then 76. The conversation drifts from royal ancestry to Olympic lanes, from Hollywood sets to a surfboard shaped by hand, tracing the outline of a life that helped define modern surfing and Hawaii's public image in the 20th century. And if you know little about the man who dreamed of getting surfing into the Olympic Games, this is a precious piece of history. A name with history, worn casually The interview starts with Kahanamoku explaining that "Duke" is not a title but his giv...

The hydrodynamics of surfboard fins

Have you ever wondered why a surfboard fin looks like that? It is a single or a set of fixed blades or keels located under a board, near the tail, often no bigger than a hand. Yet that small surface is where much of the surfboard's behavior takes place. Speed, hold, looseness, and the feeling of control all trace back to how water moves around fins. The physics of surfboard fins falls under hydrodynamics, the study of how fluids behave in motion. So, according to science, they feature a shape designed to turn flowing water into several forces. Let's take a look at what's at stake when fins and water interact. Lift and the feeling of control One of the key variables in hydrodynamic terms involving surfboard fins is lift. When a surfer leans into a turn, the board tilts and the fins meet the water at an angle. The angle is enough to create a pressure difference between the two sides of the fin. Water speeds up on one side and slows on the other. The result is a sidewa...

How paddleboarding transforms your body and mind

Adventure is on our doorstep. With so many different bodies of water available to paddleboarders, from city canals to coastal routes, we can find adventure in places much closer to home than people might initially expect. According to the Canal and River Trust, 50 percent of people in England and Wales live within just eight kilometers of a canal or river, and eight million people live less than one kilometer away. I had lived within just a few kilometers of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal for years and never really explored it before stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) came into my life . The challenge created both a new perspective and a deeper love for where I lived and the areas which I passed through. On my coast-to-coast journey, I slept in my own bed for two nights as the route passed through my then hometown of Skipton, yet I felt I was on a grand journey of discovery. We are braver, stronger, and more resilient than we think. SUP not only helps us feel more connected to our va...
