This study sets out to further our understanding of the nuances of information trustworthiness on Facebook, from a French user perspective, focusing on Gen Y and Z netizens and their interaction with online content when sourcing and sharing information. The findings suggest that while the majority of participants designated Facebook as their primary social networking site (SNS), secondary sources were regularly used for confirming the information; only a small fraction of the participants claimed to use Facebook as their sole source of news and information. Facebook was found to have a limited role in promoting the participation of these generations in sharing news and information. This study puts forward possible reasons explaining the “passive” consumption of SNS by Gen Y and Z, the majority of whom are increasingly reluctant to post, comment on, or even forward news and information via Facebook. In a digital age that fosters rapid, multilateral exchange of knowledge, Facebook may appear less “trustworthy” than previously imagined.
