Watch Out!
Not all information is good information. Some things you read or hear might be wrong, exaggerated, or even made up on purpose. Learning to spot warning signs keeps you safe.
Warning Signs of Bad Information
- It sounds too amazing or too scary to be true
- No author or source is listed
- It uses lots of exclamation marks and ALL CAPS
- It tries to make you feel very angry or very scared
- You cannot find the same information anywhere else
- It was written a long time ago and things may have changed
Misinformation:Information that is wrong, even if the person sharing it did not mean to lie.
The Pause Test
Before you believe or share something, pause and ask: "Does this seem too good or too scary to be true?" If yes, check it before sharing!
Even smart people can be fooled by bad information. The key is to slow down, ask questions, and check before you believe or share.
