How not to be deceived
Anyone can avoid becoming an unwitting participant in the spread of such information campaigns.
To do this, ZMINA writes, you should follow a few simple rules:
▪️ Check primary sources. If a Telegram channel reports a sensational accusation, find the original statement, document, or post it refers to.
▪️ Read beyond the headlines. Emotional wording can exaggerate facts, take them out of context, or present assumptions as proven allegations.
▪️ Follow reliable media. Prefer outlets that verify information, cite sources, and give different sides a chance to respond.
▪️ Don’t take repetition as proof. If the same message appears simultaneously in several large channels, that doesn’t mean it has been verified by multiple independent sources.
▪️ Don’t rush to share suspicious posts. Even a repost with a critical comment can help an unverified accusation reach a new audience.
