Is the use of watermarks on online documents a sustainable way of fighting fake news? I.e, If info from Council of Governors, to have its watermark?

Dear Listeners,

 

Researchers have spent decades trying to understand how such misinformation (fake news) spreads and, now, a review of their work offers new guidance for the journalists, fact-checkers and others working to find, and defend, the truth.

In a report published last week in Psychological Science, a team of academics reviewed two decades of research to better understand how to effectively debunk misinformation. In the end, they found eight worthwhile studies, with more than 6,800 participants.
