Other Ways To Help
Don’t Share Misinformation
What we do online can make a difference. In a time of conflict it can become especially tricky to know what being shared is and is not real. Sharing propaganda and misinformation can be really harmful, and lead to the creation of unhelpful narratives that draw attention away from key issues. Try to fact-check what you’re sharing before posting by finding a secondary, verified source with similar information. This could be a major news organization or an NGO. DO NOT engage with posts that you know are fake. Commenting on the post is harmful because it signals to the platform that users may find it interesting. Try flagging it for review instead.
The United Nations recommends applying the 5 W’s before you share online:
- Who made it?
- What is the source of the information?
- Where did it come from?
- Why are you sharing this?
- When was this published?
Amplify Reliable Resources
Sharing reliable information is crucial. Try to only share information from authentic accounts. Language can be a barrier, so before you share anything ask yourself: Can you personally translate the language being spoken? If this is not possible, share from a verified source
If you share anything that wasn’t true by mistake, remember to clean up after yourself. Anyone is capable of sharing misinformation, so be prepared to responsibly correct it and handle the fallout if you get something wrong.
You can follow this link to Global Citizen’s website, where they’ve compiled a list of verified sources of information about the conflict.
Consider Others
While some content may not bother you, imagery of conflict or injury can be triggering to others. When considering the value of what you are posting, ask yourself how it may affect the emotions of other people. Photos and videos of violence can cause a person to feel overwhelming sadness, anxiety, or panic. If what you are sharing comes with a content warning, it may not be worth posting.
