In the hours after a major incident, information travels fast. Unfortunately, rumours, speculation and misinformation often travel even faster. Following the recent stabbing in Belfast, police and community leaders have urged people not to share graphic footage, unverified claims or rumours that could cause further harm to families, communities and ongoing investigations. Bad information doesn’t just create confusion. It can fuel fear, division, stereotyping and hostility. Before you share: ✔️ Where is this information from? ✔️ What evidence supports it? ✔️ What context might be missing? ✔️ Am I responding to facts or reacting to emotion? A few seconds spent checking can prevent real-world harm. Let’s choose facts over rumours and responsibility over reaction. #FactCheckNI #NorthernIreland
