We’re used to seeing disinformation infect our social media. At this point, disinformation posts about Covid, the 2020 Election, and Critical Race Theory are a common presence in our newsfeeds. But another topic has entered the arena—Ukraine. Much of the disinformation is generated overseas, but given the connectivity of social media, the lies and distortions have quickly reached us.
It's important to know what the lies are, who is being targeted, and how to find reliable information. To get an idea of the extent of the problem, I suggest you read these articles which describe the situation.

Remember, don’t engage with disinformation posts that you find in social media. If you want to refute it, screenshot the post. Don’t comment, retweet, like, or share disinformation. Starve the disinformation algorithm.
