[kictanet] Fwd: Tips to Spot False News

[Ali Hussein]

GG

Great resource and worth sharing with your WhatsApp groups - family and
otherwise. Often time you see people sharing anecdotes and news without
reviewing with a disclaimer at the end

'Sent as received'

We usually spread fake news without even realizing it. Spend a few minutes
reading before you forward. Hold back your 'itch' to forward before you
read.
