Security in the information environment is a topical issue at the current stage of society's development, and it is extremely important to analyze and double-check information obtained from the Internet. As all speakers emphasized in their speeches, student youth should be able to think logically and be critical of Internet sources. You can and should only trust government agencies and state media, and in no case should you fall for unverified sources or fake accounts on social networks.
