Everything is out there on the Net from A to Z . What is important is to pick wheat from chaff. Yes there is plenty of chall out there and it is left to us to know what is real and what is not. One look at YouTube and there you will find recommendations each recommendation being so different from the other I checked for joint pain and I found atleast a dozen of those videos suggesting bizarre recommendations. Do I do the Eena, Meena Myna Mo? How do you go about picking what you think is right?

That’s so true! With how influential social media has become, it’s more important than ever to be discerning about the information we come across. The internet gives us access to so much knowledge, but not everything we see or read is true. If we just accept everything at face value without questioning it, we might be shocked to realize that false information often spreads faster than the truth. It’s easy to get caught up in headlines, viral posts, or emotional stories, but taking a step back to fact-check and think critically can make a huge difference. Misinformation can be really convincing, especially when it plays on our emotions or biases. That’s why it’s always good to verify sources, cross-check details, and stay mindful of how information is being presented. At the end of the day, the internet is an incredible tool, but how we use it matters. A little skepticism and critical thinking can go a long way in making sure we’re not just consuming information—but truly understanding it.

@allknowing That is a good practice, but even the most reliable sites can sometimes spread false information. News stations, in particular, may receive inaccurate reports and unintentionally share them on their platforms. However, they have the responsibility and the option to correct any misinformation in a timely manner if they want to maintain their credibility and protect their reputation.

How sure are you that what you pick is genuine?
