Have you ever clicked on something just because it was #trending? Before you share be self-aware. Take a minute or two to do some basic fact checking!
Prevent Frictionless sharing and just Google it. It’s good to check with trustworthy, more in-depth, or more varied sources. To check specific facts, searching Google may reveal what others are reporting.
Create friction and slow the spread of misinformation! Check Snopes and other reputable fact-checking sites!
