If an online message spreads fear and has no source, why is forwarding it wrong?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: It can spread misinformation
Forwarding an unsupported frightening message gives it a wider audience before anyone knows whether it is true. This can create panic, damage someone’s reputation, encourage unsafe actions, or waste emergency attention. Pause, check the claim and source through reliable channels, and share only verified information. Forwarding cannot strengthen passwords or save files and will not always help.
