As examples, he mentioned the Capitol riot and the COVID-19-related hoaxes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In October, Berman stated they had &#8220;the responsibility to teach the next generation to be more critical of online content and to be <strong>more cautious against misinformation, propaganda, and conspiracy theories<\/strong>.&#8221; He also clarified that this project would help students &#8220;be more responsible about the content they post online and better understand security and privacy.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This subject is known as &#8220;<strong>media literacy<\/strong>&#8221; and would be placed alongside other essential subjects like mathematics, history, English, etc. However, California isn&#8217;t the only state taking action against fake news in this manner. In January, New Jersey signed a law pursuing a very similar goal to that of California.
