Social media users often use filters for photos and videos, but what kind of filter should you put through what you read on social media? How do you recognise shaped messages and not fall for the sweet talk of influencers who want to push you a product? How can you not click on something just because of the title and stay on the text even though there is not a word about the promised one? How are ads hidden and why do you only drink one type of juice? Can you trust TikTokers and Youtubers?
