Mikhail Gusman: Social networks are dangerous

Baku. 26 October. REPORT.AZ / "I personally predict big problems related to social networks and their impact on people's minds due to anonymity and irresponsibility," Mikhail Gusman, Deputy Director of the Russian news Agency TASS said.

According to Report, Gusman was speaking at the panel session on "Information wars as a tool of disintegration" within the 6th Baku International Humanitarian forum.

According to him, various groups, including terrorists, can use social networks as tools.

"The danger of social networks will exist until humanity learns to agree on the rules of behavior in social networks, and this is a very complicated issue," Gusman said.

According to him, thanks to social networks hundreds of information attacks occur every day. "Social networks have become like a drug, it is a terrible disease. Accuracy, reliability, verification of information is a guarantee that it will be possible to limit people from fake news".
