Questions Before You Share

Social media algorithms reward outrage. You can break the cycle.

Ask Before You Share

• Did I read the whole article, or just the headline?
• Does this confirm my bias so perfectly that it feels suspicious?
• Is this designed to inform me, or to make me angry?
• If this turns out to be false, will I post a correction?
• Would I share this if it supported the other side?

The Standard

Apply the same sharing standard regardless of whether you agree with the conclusion. If you would fact-check it before sharing when it contradicts your view, fact-check it when it confirms your view too.
