Six habits that stop fake news
🛑
Pause before sharing
Strong emotion is the hook. If a message makes you angry or scared, slow down.
🔎
Check the source
Who published it? Look at the exact web address — fakes copy famous names.
📰
Find other reports
Real news is covered by several outlets. If only one forward says it, be careful.
🖼️
Reverse-search images
Old photos are often reused with new stories. Search the image to find its origin.
📅
Check the date
Old news recirculates as "breaking". Look for when it actually happened.
🏛️
Use official channels
Government schemes and health advice are announced on official .gov.in sites and PIB.
