Do you call out coronavirus misinformation on social media?

The insane seems to have been dialled up in the midst of this pandemic when it comes to the conspiracy theories people are sharing on their social Media. We speak to Sabrina Gewargis who jumps right in, and we find out why she takes it upon herself to correct people. We also catch up with Tech Writer Claire Riley for her tips, and what the tech companies are doing in this space to ensure misinformation is curtailed.

In today's news headlines:

  • Almost 600,000 Aussies lost their job in April
  • End to national manhunt with man arrested in Sydney
  • Eurovision might be cancelled but we’re getting next best thing

In today's Briefing we ask: Research has found that fake news travels faster and farther than real news, but what do you do when you see it? Do you jump in and correct misinformation on Social Media or do you just let it fly through to the keeper?
