  • I will check if the news was shared by trustworthy media.
  • I will read the comments to see if anyone points out inaccuracies.
  • I will consider whether the message evokes unnecessary fear or emotions.
  • I am sharing it further so that others can know the truth.
  • I am waiting for the authorities or experts to comment on it.
