Despite efforts to regulate online platforms and limit the spread of misinformation, many individuals are left behind because of their low digital literacy, level of education, and other contributing factors. In this context, we explore the use of Large Language Models (LLMs) to identify misinformation and we evaluate the capabilities of GPT-4.1-mini, as a representative example of these models. We then discuss how LLMs can help empower users to critically create and share information, thereby fostering more resilient online communities. We also present a set of possible interaction patterns for content creation and moderation."}],"type":"conference_editor_article"}
