To understand the information you’re reading, you need to put it in context. Start by diving into the internet rabbit hole 🐇 🕳️ and reading what different sources are saying. Open up multiple tabs so it’s easy to compare each source.
Search for keywords from the post and ask yourself, “Who shared this information and why?” Do they have something to gain from you spreading this information?
