Abstract EN
Social media has been of a high priority among different age groups, especially the younger individuals who are able to effectively deal with communication technology.
The reliance on social media as source of information and news has become extremely important at a time when all indications show that fake news on social media has become a pandemic with a viral nature that is no less dangerous and its effects than the COVID-19 pandemic itself.
Undoubtedly, this is reflected in its effectiveness as sources of information and news, especially in ambiguous situations for which the individual needs to search for sources that reduce such ambiguity.
Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the motives for individuals to rely on social media, and the effects resulting from these motives.
In addition to investigating how sharing fake news on social media, and its accounts, affects the efficiency and effectiveness of these means in terms of the degree to which the public relies on such means as a source of information and news of the COVID-19 pandemic.
As COVID-19 pandemic is of the mysterious and critical situations individuals could witness and that the public and specialists alike deal with, since it is related to their lives and health.
What is known about this pandemic, until this study is conducted, in terms of its source, its causes, how to confront, prevent, and ways to confront it, may not be devoid of many unverified opinions, and if we could say “fallacies”, which drive the public to continuously search for sources of information, foremost among social media.
