New rule for 2026: treat every viral image/quote/clip as unverified by default — especially if it makes you angry fast.

Before you boost:
– Who wants me to feel this?
– Find the original source + date?
– quick fact-check or AI assistant suggest it’s edited/synthetic?
– Would I still share it if it were AI-generated?

30 seconds of pause is the new digital hygiene. Don’t be free compute for someone else’s disinfo campaign.
