If a message has correct-looking facts but the source is old, what should be done?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Compare with a current and verified source
Information that appears correct may still be outdated, because circumstances, rules, or figures can change over time. The responsible step is to compare it with a current and reliable source before using or sharing it. Accepting or spreading it without checking may pass on obsolete information, and removing the source reduces transparency rather than improving reliability.
