(9/10) 3: Inform yourself on current affairs by using credible sources and fact-checking skills. This will allow you to be better equipped to recognize a false claim if you come across it, as you will already have a decent grasp on unfolding situations.

(8/10) 2: Don’t amplify false information - you can call out mis- and disinformation by referring to it and sharing pointers as to why you believe it is false, but by simply “reposting” it, more harm than good may be done.

(7/10) 1: Take a minute before you react - taking a moment to react to information (even if it’s factual) will allow you to analyze what’s being presented in a more critical manner.

(6/10) My recommendations for individuals, which I believe is the civic responsibility of each of us, include the following:

(4/10) To prevent this familiar scenario from happening, media literacy can no longer be thought of as an accessory that can be squeezed into schools for thirty minutes per year.

(3/10) They can cause disruption to emergency services, lead individuals to engage in panicked behaviors, result in violence among the public, and, create unwarranted distrust toward institutions such as law enforcement, the media, and medical professionals on the basis of untrue information.

(2/10) False claims about high-stakes situations, such as natural disasters, local emergency situations, and international conflicts can have detrimental consequences.

(1/10) Media Literacy and Public Safety: I wrote a blog for FlippGen about media literacy and how false information online can stifle trust in our institutions at all levels, and how this may effect public safety in times of disaster and chaos. Read it here: www.flippgen.com/blog/a-guide...

7/8: I am grateful to the Minister for AI and Online Safety, Kanishka Narayan MP, for attending the event, sharing his perspective on a panel, and taking tough questions from the kids in the audience.

3/8: To our audience, which included children, I spoke about the challenges, the opportunities, and how we can do better for the upcoming generation and for society overall, with regard to platform design, and particularly, on social media.

Delnaz Kazemi @delnazk.bsky.social · 30/05/2026

2/8: This was an absolutely incredible event, which is proven by the continuous positive feedback I hear, even a month later. On the panel that I had the pleasure of speaking on, I was asked to explain how my experience with the digital world as a child shaped how I view technology now.

(9/11) I’m so grateful to 'Flete East London for welcoming me and to all of the athletes who participated so wholeheartedly. (Someone described me as a “media literacy baddie” - and I’m keeping that title 😎.) @dykwyk.bsky.social

(8/11) • Media literacy isn’t just about news - it’s about identity, wellbeing, and how we see ourselves in a digital world. • Youth-led discussions are powerful. Listening is just as important as teaching. @dykwyk.bsky.social

Delnaz Kazemi @delnazk.bsky.social · 12/10/2025

(7/11) • Young people want to talk about the pressures of social media - they just need safe, open spaces to do it. • Conversations about topics like menstruation and confidence are essential, and when handled with honesty, they spark real engagement. @dykwyk.bsky.social

Delnaz Kazemi @delnazk.bsky.social · 12/10/2025

(6/11) 💡 What I learned from this workshop: • When young people realize they have the power and capability to recognize mis- and disinformation, they light up - they feel empowered to think critically and take control of what they consume. @dykwyk.bsky.social

Delnaz Kazemi @delnazk.bsky.social · 12/10/2025

(5/11) This experience reminded me why I started Do You Know What You Know? (DYKWYK?) @dykwyk.bsky.social - to create spaces where people can learn to think critically, build confidence, and understand the information shaping their world.

Delnaz Kazemi @delnazk.bsky.social · 12/10/2025

(4/11) We had meaningful conversations, lots of laughter, and interactive activities that made the session feel alive and collaborative. @dykwyk.bsky.social

(1/11) ✨ Workshop Recap | Flete East London x Do You Know What You Know? (DYKWYK?) @dykwyk.bsky.social I recently had the opportunity to lead a workshop for Flete East London, an incredible group helping young athletes (ages 11–18) develop their skills both in and outside of their sport.

Thanks! I have another event in the evening so have to see if I can find their agenda. If it starts early in the morning, I will consider attending.

What we need is a culture of skepticism. We need people to care about what’s true and what isn’t, and for a shared view of reality to become common again. People also need to feel comfortable having their current beliefs challenged. Organizations like yours have a huge role to play here. 3/6

Delnaz Kazemi @delnazk.bsky.social · 02/07/2025

My organization, Do You Know What You Know? (bsky.app/profile/dykw...), aims to do just that. Through podcasts and workshops for groups of all ages, we hope to create a difference, even if only a dent in the beginning, and aid the lack of media literacy training.

Additionally, it is imperative that media literacy training is accessible to all, meaning that it needs to occur in spaces such as community groups and be present on online platforms that are easy to navigate and include training that is easy to apply to any type of information one may encounter.

We need formal education starting from as young as preschool, all the way up to the highest levels of university education.

110

Delnaz Kazemi @delnazk.bsky.social · 02/07/2025

To some, that means formal media literacy education in schools and universities. For others, it means casual education through digital and community outreach. However, my strong belief is that we need to tackle the issue from all angles.

Delnaz Kazemi @delnazk.bsky.social · 02/07/2025

When it comes to solutions, my number one is, without a doubt, education! However, that word means different things to different people.

I showed a clip from my podcast, DYKWYK? (bsky.app/profile/dykw...), from our episode with Kojo Asamoa-Caesar, where he described his personal encounters with disinformation and how that affected him both professionally and personally. Take a listen here: open.spotify.com/episode/5Kb8...

In my presentation, I mentioned that two things are happening: - Young people are becoming increasingly aware of social issues and are keeping up to date with news. - Disinformation is running rampant with little regulation on social media, causing the views of young people to become skewed.
