Frequency of seeing false information online in the U.S. 2023, by age group
A 2023 survey found that two thirds of U.S. adults aged 65 years or over said they saw information they believed to be false or misleading every day, compared to only 37 percent of respondents aged 18 to 29 years old. Older respondents were also marginally more likely to say that they were not sure if they had seen false information or not.
