In the second quarter of 2021, the majority of almost all of the defined age groups (with the close exception of people 75 years of age and older), who used the internet to access social media or online news outlets, saw untrustworthy information online in the past three months in Czechia. However, only a minority decided to verify the credibility of this information. For example, 42 percent of 25 to 34-year-olds who saw untrustworthy information decided to check its trustworthiness.

Supplementary notes
Both CATI and CAPI survey types were used.
Survey was carried out on 7058 individual persons aged 16+ and 4168 reached households, the data was subsequently converted through post-stratification with respect to the whole population aged 16 or older which amounted to 8,8 million people and 4,5 million households.
The value is the percentage of the total number of Czechs in the given age group, who use the internet, social media and read online news outlets. The share of people verifying comes from the share of those who saw untrustworthy information.
*Original question: Have you seen an information in the past 3 months on social media or online news outlets, of which you doubted the credibility? Did you check the truthfulness of at least some of the information?
