Click on the link and complete the “spot the troll” quiz. https://spotthetroll.org/

Make sure you read the additional information/analysis included with each profile. After you have worked through the quiz, discuss the following:

1. Why do you think it’s important for us to identify information that is deliberately misleading and/or inaccurate? What impact can “trolls” have on the way we debate/discuss/understand business and politics?

2. Are trolls/bots having a negative impact on the US (or the world in general)? How so?

3. What was your score on the quiz? Did you do better/worse than you thought? Did you take it more than once? (Feel free to comment, respectfully, on your classmates’ responses.)

You should give clear, well organized, and well thought out answers to each question (5 sentences minimum for each). As always, check your spelling, punctuation and grammar.
