Be careful, Many Scam Information on The Internet

We know that everyone can make a viral news, no matter it is right or false information. Many propaganda shows on the internet like videos, photos, words and everything like terrorism issue,  unchecked news. You must be careful when comments about something, check that news is right or only fake news 

Never share a news without reading it before and check that news is real news or only fake news. Be careful when you share news about ethnicity, religion, race, and inter-group relations because people can get angry and trigger a war or bad conflict! If you respect everyone, everyone will respect you.

Be careful, think before clicking a link! 

The link brings us to an address on the internet but doesn't click every link on the internet without knowing who share that link.

Everyone has a unique password, like birthday, phone number, unique number, combination words. My first password on the internet is very long, but I forget my password! so you must choose your best and uncrackable password but easy to remember.
