Researchers at the University of Cambridge in the UK have developed a video game that teaches people about the spread of misinformation about Covid-19.
The goal of the game “Go Viral!” is to make it easier for players to spot fake news in the future.
According to the authors of this digital game, the initial goal was for users to know more about how fake news is spread. By knowing how this news is spread, users will be able to know more about the content, the goal that is intended to be achieved through it.
The game's authors also compare this to anti-Covid booster vaccines. So, the injection of vaccines is intended to introduce you to the coronavirus, which would serve as a protective measure in cases where the virus actually attacks the body.
