Existing inoculation tactics work well

[ricjhill]

We need to be able to present a counterargument or further clarification of the misinformation, so that we can approach the users in a way that doesn't create a negative reaction and gently educates them/opens their mind to more facts and possibilities.

How to validate this assumption:

• do some research on existing uses of inoculation tactics, e.g. studies but ideally ready products. (eg. https://behavioralscientist.org/a-new-way-to-inoculate-people-against-misinformation/)
• outline the successes and failures of your examples, find proof for them, e.g. press coverage, user feedback, usage stats etc.
• Based on what you've learned - validate the assumption as TRUE or FALSE.
