"This 30-page IOM publication examines how misinformation shapes public perceptions of migrants and migration in three countries. It investigates misleading narratives surrounding Nigerians seeking opportunities to travel abroad and negative social media attitudes towards Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh and Malaysia. Drawing on Twitter and Facebook discussions, the report highlights how misinformation reinforces prejudice, discrimination and harmful migration narratives. It also discusses the importance of digital literacy, reliable information, fact-checking and interventions by social media companies." (This comment was generated using AI)
