Misinformation significantly impacts public trust in government by eroding credibility and sowing doubt about official narratives. The spread of false information can distort public perception of policies, governance, and even democratic processes, leading to skepticism among citizens. When people cannot discern fact from fiction, they may become disillusioned, disengaged, or apathetic towards political participation. This environment can be exploited by actors seeking to manipulate public opinion for their benefit. Consequently, combating misinformation through education, media literacy, and transparency is critical for preserving trust in government and ensuring an informed electorate.
