Several images circulate on social networks and in most cases, one wonders about their authenticity. Information on migration is no exception to this practice. Sometimes it is unbelievable and baseless images that circulate to illustrate and attribute a fact in order to deceive Internet users. Dialogue Migration shares some tips with you.

First, know who posted the image: is it a credible or trustworthy person? What interest would they have by publishing this image? What is the motivation of the person? These are questions to ask yourself often before sharing an image or information in general. Check to make sure.

The source of the publication or site: the reliability and credibility of the site that published the image. Ask yourself as many times as possible about the site and, if you have doubts about a site, type its name on the search engines (Google, Wikipedia …) for verification.

From where the image was published: use Google image or TinEye to see if other images taken elsewhere from another angle, circulate for this purpose. 

Do not rely on the number of shares: it is not because a photo has been liked or shared several times that it is authentic.  Therefore, when you see an image, inform yourself before sharing so as not to accidentally or unknowingly relay false information. Beware! Always doubt!

Take a step back before sharing an image: When you see an image, try to distance yourself before sharing on the Internet, as many images are fake on the web.

What the comments say: Often, the comments of Internet users sometimes highlight the inconsistency of a piece of information. In most cases, the credibility of the information put forward can be measured.
