Opinions on fake news sources about the coronavirus (COVID-19) Italy 2020, by gender
A survey from April 2020 showed that about eight out of ten Italian people believed Facebook to be responsible for spreading false or not accurate information regarding the coronavirus (COVID-19) and its impact. More in detail, 78 percent of male respondents had this opinion, while the percentage amounted to 80 percent among women. However, when it came to information about the pandemic, male respondents seemed to distrust all other news sources more than the female respondents did.
