Social channels spread many lies. That's why we now reflect on the commandment of the Law: "Thou shalt not raise a false report!"
It is often about money, 'love', appreciation, success or 'inner enlightenment'. People need all such things, but Adonai Yeshua teaches us in the Sermon on the Mount about these things as follows: (Matt. 6:24-34)
>>24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve Elohim and Mammon. 25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
The right approach to Social Channels?
I carefully choose the people I believe in and I believe in them with reservation, always keeping the back doors open. A Swedish proverb teaches: "Always remember to hope for the best, but at the same time prepare for the worst possible option!" When I follow it, I'm never disappointed. The Bible teaches about the same as follows: Micah 7:5-6
>>5 Trust ye not in a friend, put ye not confidence in a guide: keep the doors of thy mouth from her that lieth in thy bosom. 6 For the son dishonoureth the father, the daughter riseth up against her mother, the daughter in law against her mother in law; a man's enemies are the men of his own house.<<

That commandment is very similar to the commandment of the Law of the 10 Commandments (Exodus 20:16 and Deuteronomy 5:20) "Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour."
The spirit of lies and deception entered the world already in the fall of our ancestors in paradise and with them when they were expelled from paradise to cultivate and protect the earth. People have been influenced by lies to such an extent that it is difficult for many to believe the truth, because they doubt all the information they receive.
On the other hand, it is also quite wise to be suspicious of something that seems 'too good to be true', because it has often turned out to be a scam. Especially on social media channels, there are constantly spoof messages that promise anything either suspiciously cheap or almost free.

26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? 27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?
28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: 29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30 Wherefore, if Elohim so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?
31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? 32 ( For after all these things do the Gentiles seek: ) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. 33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.<<
Adam and Eve had only two options in paradise: Either believe and serve Elohim or believe and serve the Devil. Similarly, people in the world have been given only two options: To believe and serve Elohim, or to believe and serve the Father of Lies, or the Devil. We cannot believe and serve them both at the same time. Our final destination in eternity also depends on our choice!
In the worst cases, spreading a false rumor can lead to divorce and it can lead to suicide. Such unfortunate incidents have also happened among young people.

Spreading a false rumor is always wrong!
It can lead to ridicule, slander and avoidance of our neighbor and even cause him to be fired from his job. A long time ago, a cunning rumor was spread about me, and fortunately, a higher official was wise enough to come and ask me if there was any truth to the rumor. I told him it wasn't and he believed me, saying that this matter won't go any further and told me to continue my work in peace.
The right approach to Social Channels?
I assume that most of their content is more or less false and a lot of it is outright lies. Sometimes the results obtained from a search engine help to find out the veracity of the content. You shouldn't always trust them either, because social media has numerous made-up profiles from troll factories in many different countries.
What I do personally is that I pray FIRST and only then do I start investigating things more closely. I don't give out Visa card ID numbers at all, unless I have to and unless I know the supplier of the goods to be really reliable. That is because the fraudsters may also capture files from a trusted supplier, which may contain the ID numbers of my Visa card. That's why I use payment channels where I don't have to enter Visa card ID numbers, but can pay using a link from my bank account.
In addition, I keep only a small amount of money in my Visa card account and the rest in another bank's account, where I don't have a Visa card at all. I haven't taken any credit on my current Visa card, so its balance cannot be exceeded.
