Gen Z are one of the most likely age cohorts to believe online misinformation.
That's one of the findings of a global report by researchers in the UK and Canada.
The report from the University of Cambridge and the University of British Columbia surveyed over 60 thousand people across various generations, political beliefs, education levels and more.
The findings suggest people born between 1997 and 2012, also known as Gen Zs, are the most likely to believe online misinformation.
However, they're also the more likely to be aware of the fact they're falling for the material.
Those with more conservative political views were almost equally as likely to believe false information online, when compared to Gen Z, but they were much less capable of spotting the fact it was happening.
Experts say the research goes against the theory that younger people are more digital savvy, having been exposed to smartphones almost their whole life.
Other groups more likely to fall for misinformation include women and people who are less educated.
