If someone writes \"xxx is the biggest Christmas market in Europe\", then we usually double-check by Googling \"Which is the biggest Christmas market in Europe?\". If most of the answers point in the same direction, then yes, it seems reasonable.

If it concerns a city, you can check the city's own website, if it concerns entry rules in a country, you can check the embassy's information, and so on. Many times it is advisable to check more than one source.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We double-check things almost all the time when we write stories and when we publish <a href=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/en\/category\/freedomtravel-news\/\">travel news<\/a>.

Today, millions of images are created by AI, that is, with the help of artificial intelligence (including several of the images in this report). So, how do you know if an image is created by AI? Well, you can't always tell. Some AI images are of course very imaginative, while others are very realistic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Systems for labelling AI-generated images have started to emerge on social media, and there are even sites where you can test the authenticity of images. In everyday life, it might be enough to be aware - no, not all images are genuine. Just because you've seen something in a picture doesn't mean it's real.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/ai-generated-8959799_1280-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-250068\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/ai-generated-8959799_1280-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/ai-generated-8959799_1280-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/ai-generated-8959799_1280-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/ai-generated-8959799_1280-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/ai-generated-8959799_1280-224x224.jpg 224w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/ai-generated-8959799_1280-12x12.jpg 12w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/ai-generated-8959799_1280-325x325.jpg 325w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/ai-generated-8959799_1280-520x520.jpg 520w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/ai-generated-8959799_1280-1200x1200.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/ai-generated-8959799_1280-320x320.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/ai-generated-8959799_1280-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/ai-generated-8959799_1280-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/ai-generated-8959799_1280-120x120.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/ai-generated-8959799_1280.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">AI-generated image of a building, from image bank<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-varfor-ar-det-sa-viktigt-att-faktakolla\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Varfor_ar_det_sa_viktigt_att_faktakolla\"><\/span>Why is it so important to fact-check?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today, we get information from so many sources - some are of course good and credible, while others may be outdated or have an agenda to influence you politically or make money off you.

Our advice is to continue to absorb information with joy and curiosity, but to keep the following things in mind at all times:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Who is the sender of the information?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What agenda might the sender have?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What do others have to say about it?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Is the information up-to-date?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Is it a real
