Explainer: A practical checklist before sharing information online
A few quick checks can reduce the chance of passing along misleading or outdated information.

Before sharing a claim, look for the original source, the publication date and whether other credible outlets independently report the same facts.\n\nScreenshots and short clips often lose context. Open the source when possible, check what happened before and after the quoted moment, and distinguish reporting from opinion.\n\nFor fast-moving stories, updated information may change an early understanding. Treat certainty as something that should grow with evidence.
