Stay safe (Source, date, other sites): Real checks: the source, the date, the author, other trusted sites, the full story, a fact-check site. Not real checks: likes, forwards, a scary headline, “SHARE NOW”, capitals, it feels true. Deepfakes can copy faces and voices; check shocking clips with trusted news and money requests with family.
