Hi! I'm Amito. Let's learn how to spot tricky content together!

Step 1

STOP

When content triggers a strong emotional reaction, the first thing to do is pause. Don't share, don't comment — just stop.

Step 2

SOURCE

Investigate the source. Who created this? Look past the name to find their reputation and track record.

Master Source Checking
Step 3

CONTENT

Look for evidence within the content itself. Does the evidence actually support the claim being made?

Deconstruct Content
Step 4

ALIGNMENT

Find independent sources. Does this hold up against what others — who have no shared stake in the story — are reporting?

Practice Alignment
Step 5

NOW REFLECT

Why was this content created? Reflect on your own biases before you decide what to do next.
