Inaccurate reports can appear at any point on the news and the internet so it’s important that you check your information and never assume something is accurate, especially if you discovered something as gossip or on social media.

Never accept something you see online without checking it. It’s very easy to use old video or photographs as evidence for something happening right now, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose.

Always avoid reposting unless you are absolutely sure. what’s you’re sharing is accurate.
