Fact-Checking on Social Media
xiàn zài现在 ，hěn很duō多shè jiāo méi tǐ社交媒体gōng sī公司bù zài不再yòng用dú lì独立de的shì shí事实hé chá核查 。
Nowadays, many social media companies no longer use independent fact-checking.
yǐ qián以前 ，zhuān jiā专家huì会bāng帮wǒ men我们jiǎn chá检查wǎng shàng网上de的xìn xī信息shì是zhēn真shì是jiǎ假 。
In the past, experts would help us verify whether information online was true or false.
xiàn zài现在 ，xiàng像 Facebookhé和 Xzhè yàng这样de的píng tái平台 ，ràng让yòng hù用户zì jǐ自己pàn duàn判断xìn xī信息duì bú duì对不对 。
Now, platforms like Facebook and X let users judge the accuracy of information themselves.
zhè yàng这样zuò做yǒu有hǎo chù好处yě也yǒu有huài chù坏处 。
This approach has both advantages and disadvantages.
yǒu xiē有些rén人dān xīn担心huì会yǒu有gèng更duō多jiǎ xiāo xī假消息hé和yīn móu lùn阴谋论 。
Some people worry that there will be more fake news and conspiracy theories.
qí shí其实 ，zhǎo dào找到zhēn zhèng真正de的 “shì shí事实 ”hěn很nán难 。
In fact, finding the real "facts" is very difficult.
kē xué jiā科学家cháng cháng常常yòng用 “kě néng可能 ”huò或 “hěn很yǒu有xìn xīn信心 ”lái来biǎo dá表达tā men他们de的fā xiàn发现 ，ér而bú shì不是shuō说yí dìng一定shì是zhēn de真的 。
Scientists often use terms like "possible" or "very confident" to express their findings, rather than saying something is definitely true.
wǒ men我们gèng更róng yì容易fā xiàn发现cuò wù错误 ，ér而bú shì不是zhèng míng证明yī一jiàn件shì事wán quán完全zhèng què正确 。
We are more likely to find errors than to prove something is completely correct.
suǒ yǐ所以 ，yǒu shí hòu有时候zhǐ chū指出míng xiǎn明显de的cuò wù错误 ，bǐ比zhèng míng证明suǒ yǒu所有de的shì shí事实gèng更shí jì实际 。
Therefore, sometimes pointing out obvious mistakes is more practical than proving all facts.
zài在wǎng luò网络shàng上 ，wǒ men我们yào要xué huì学会fēn biàn分辨zhēn jiǎ真假xìn xī信息 ，yě也yào要bǎo chí保持qiān xū谦虚 ，bú yào不要qīng yì轻易xiāng xìn相信yī qiè一切 。
On the internet, we need to learn to distinguish true from false information and also stay humble, not believing everything easily.
