Which of the following statements best describes a significant disadvantage of real-time photo and video sharing during times of crisis?
  1. False and inflammatory information regarding events can be communicated just as quickly.
  2. Governments can choose to block specific types of information from being disseminated.
  3. The speed at which information can be delivered decreases as the number of people viewing it increases.
  4. Businesses can also instantly capitalize on people's communication about particular events through targeted advertising.
Explanation
Correct Response: A. Because information is no longer curated by networks or regulated by authorities, the public has become extremely vulnerable to false and misleading content. B is incorrect because anybody can post anything instantly and there is no time for the government to block it quickly enough. C is incorrect because the Internet is so robust that it can handle massive numbers of users without any reduction in speed. D is incorrect because targeted advertising does not depend on speed of posts and it is equally applicable at times when there is no crisis.
