Sometimes there are articles in the news on Facebook and Twitter which do not fit the day. It is OK if the article is about a local topic, but when it is about military one, it may cause some panic. You can enter a social network and see that everyone shares news that the borders are being bombarded, military equipment is brought and so on.

Sharing such news may cause chaos: people becoming frustrated, they share and take it close to their heart. But there is a delicate point: sometimes this news is expired. So, before sharing something check when it was posted, and if you see it is an old one put it aside.
