What festival is August 24th, 2023?

August 24th, 2023 is the World Day against False News.

On August 24th, 2023 in Gregorian calendar, people commemorate a special festival, a festival full of artistic flavor and far-reaching significance, and a festival that makes people feel the cultural background and human wisdom. This festival is World Anti-False News Day. We may be a little unfamiliar with this brand-new "festival", but behind it is a profound problem, a serious problem that affects social stability-false news.

False news will not only mislead the public and disturb social order, but also bring serious economic losses to individuals and enterprises. Therefore, the purpose of World Anti-False News Day is to strike a fatal blow to false news and spread the truth better by arousing public attention and reflection. Simply put, false news is news that deliberately fabricates, exaggerates or distorts the facts, which may be driven by the interests of business, fame and fortune.
