المستخلص: Social media platforms have become popular sources of information, especially during crises like the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the spread of misinformation and disinformation on these platforms has been a significant issue. The youth in the UAE, who constitute the majority of the population, were studied to explore how they used social media during the pandemic and how this contributed to spreading misinformation. It is argued that the increased social media use among youth during the pandemic led to the spread of misinformation, causing distress and anxiety. However, the youth took action to fact-check and verify false information. To combat information disorder, education about persuasive techniques to spread misinformation and access to fact-checking tools are necessary, and so is diversifying media exposure to minimize the impact of filter bubbles.
