Check out other tips from Professor Geane Alzamora, so that you don't fall into dangerous fibs
“If you are in doubt as to whether certain information is false or true, don't pass it on to others. First, ask an adult you trust if a YouTube channel is trustworthy, or if the link which you clicked is appropriate for your age, for example.”
"If you don't have an adult around, go to the
Google. You can type, and even use voice control, to search for a news headline or a keyword, and find out what's already been said about a particular topic. Most grossly false information is disproved in several links that appear in the internet search.”“It is not correct to produce false information with the aim of harming others. Just as we shouldn't speak ill of someone who isn't there to defend themselves, we shouldn't share messages or videos that might embarrass a colleague. This is also considered bullying.”
