Before you share, like or comment any post, take 1-2 minutes to:
– Evaluate who delivered that news
– Compare information with different sources… (refer to I’M VAIN below for more)
Be careful with sensational news that gives you strong emotions: anger, distrust, indignation, compassion, pity, etc.
Remember that celebrities, most-followed fanpages are not necessarily reliable sources and the mass is not always right.
