Part one · Protect yourself

01 · Lock your accounts

Four habits that stop most account takeovers. Start with your email account: it can reset all the others.

    02 · Share less without noticing

    Your phone and browser give away where you are, who you know and what you read. These settings keep most of it to yourself.

      03 · Before you post or forward

      Four quick checks before you hit send. Tick them once you've made them a habit.

        Part two · Check what you see

        04 · Check the source

        No outlet is neutral, but some are open about who they are. Know who is talking before you weigh what they say.

          05 · Check the claim

          A few minutes of searching settles most viral claims.

            06 · Check photos, videos and voices

            Most fake images aren't AI: they're real photos from another time or place. Check those first.
