- Abstract
The amount of information about Covid-19 that is spread through social media can be accepted by almost the entire community and this information cannot be justified or is subject to uncertainty. Even during the current Covid-19 pandemic, false information is often associated with political issues. If this continues to happen, it will cause panic, anxiety and psychological pressure or can even lead to misunderstandings between the community and the government. For those who spread fake news about Covid-19, it is also difficult to overcome. Therefore, it is necessary to take various actions to overcome the spread of fake news during the Covid-19 period on social media.
