Fakey is a game that emulates a social media news feed and prompts players to use available signals to recognize and scrutinize suspicious content and focus on credible information. Researchers found that the more players interacted with articles in the game, the better their skills at spotting credible content became. Such games could be offered as a tool to help people recognize and ignore fake content in their news feeds and increase their digital literacy, say the researchers at the NYUAD Center for Cybersecurity and Indiana University. The researchers say such games could also be integrated into media literacy curricula in schools.
