A N A LY S I S DEMOCRACY AND HUMAN RIGHTS CANARIES IN THE COALMINE Building Resilience to Online Misinformation among Young People in the UK Daniel Allington, Harry Shukman, William Galinsky and Rachel Briscoe January 2023 The spread of online misin­formation is a key concern in a digitally-permeated so­ciety, prompting fears that engagement with it can lead, particularly among young people, to radicalisa­tion and inter-group hate. This paper assesses the scale of the problem, and exam­ines a range of tools and techniques intended to miti­gate its impact, from online fact-checking services and content warnings to interfaith dialogue and state-­mandated educational programmes. The most promising methods of confronting misinforma­tion are likely those that en­gage people in the real-­world and build lasting relationships across community divides ­beyond the internet. Inter­ventions that take place solely online, on the other hand, are yet to deliver robust and easily scalable impacts.
