The information age provides people with a massive amount of data. However, this sheer volume can overwhelm their ability to discern truth from falsehood. Especially since many are solely chasing online traffic, all sorts of rumors and sensational topics can be disseminated. When receiving information, many people cannot be sure whether what they receive is true or false. As a result, the attitude most people adopt is that if they want to believe certain information, it is deemed true and freely spread within their circles. This makes it increasingly difficult to differentiate truth from lies in the messages being spread.
