Taking advantage of the misfortune that happened last night where people died, some insensitive people are spreading hoaxes on Twitter to be careful about the Manchester bombingto disseminate and become better known.
Since the attack in Manchester occurred last midnight, social networks and especially Twitter became the loudspeaker of opinions of all kinds of people to this serious attack thanks to the creation of various hashtags.
Although there are mostly news messages or condolences for what happened, there are those who are taking advantage to spread false information about people supposedly missingafter the attack, also using the hashtag Manchester.
We have seen several cases of profiles announcing that they are looking for missing people or looking for their prominence for a few minutes through the dissemination of their messages on Twitter using the aforementioned hashtag and taking advantage of what happened in that country, as someone has done with a child in a red shirt that has also turned out to be another hoax.
Another specific case that has been speculated is that the star of last night's concert, Ariana Grande, had even died. It is totally false because she also published shortly after the concert showing her condolences, a fact that has also led to the cancellation of her concerts.
It is not the only one since photos of the supposed victims of the attack have also been disseminated, something that is also false pending more official data.
The worst of all this is that the hoaxes are mixed with true and real information since there are cases of people who have used Twitter to publicize his case to find a relative and it happens that people no longer know when something is true and when it is false, so the only thing to do is waste time for those people who do need it and who are really desperate for what occurred when someone is missing from their family.
If you browse Twitter and see any false or inappropriate information, we always recommend report such posts so that it is easier to delete all this type of content and only really have what is true and useful for people.
Therefore you should be beware of the hoaxes about the Manchester bombing that are circulating on Twitter and only listen to official news sources, police, institutions, etc. One piece of advice, look for verified profiles on Twitter and you won't have any problems being informed correctly.
What is your opinion of this fact?
