Find the original
Before sharing a claim or clip, look for the original statement, full context, date, and a traceable source.
Compare independent sources
A single screenshot or forwarded message is rarely enough. Check official records and credible reporting.
Watch for synthetic content
AI-generated audio, images, and video can imitate real people. Treat a surprising clip as a claim to verify, not proof by itself.
Slow down the reaction
Content designed to make you act immediately deserves extra scrutiny. Pause before amplifying it.
