What we Risk in Sharing Misinformation & The Quest for Viral Content

Today I really wanted to take a quick moment to sit down and briefly outline some trends I've seen and the risks of sharing misinformation. This isn't about different opinions. It comes down to sharing facts that have clearly and repeatedly been falsified, about the impact that AI has - even on fairly innocent topics and the impact that events over the past couple weeks have already had on the state of mental healthy for many of us.

I believe it's always important to look at the facts from multiple sources. Stand up for human rights. And don't share blatant lies. Practice compassion and take care of each other! 

We can all do our little bit to add love to the world. To protect people. And to help bring us all back to a more level headed community across the globe. 

As I'm posting this, I see that the Metropolitan Police and a few other places on twitter have called to stop the further spread of old videos and information. 

Take care of yourselves and each other through all of this and try to look objectively at the situation looking at multiple sources. And you know what... take a break from all socials if you need to. It's good for your mental health!

There's truthfully so much more to say on this and we just scratched the surface barely today. I hope you come away feeling lighter! 

Lots of love!
