The angrier or more scared a piece of breaking news makes you, the more you need to pause, because that's when you share by mistake.
PAUSE
Step one: ten seconds
Step one: stop for ten seconds, notice how you feel, and check who posted it and when.
SPLIT
Step two: ask AI
Step two: paste it into a chatbot and ask which parts are facts to check and which are opinion.
TWO SOURCES
Step three: two sources
Step three: find at least two trusted sources reporting the same thing, because AI may not know about very recent events.
