This piece is inspired by the abundant of fake news spread in the social media and internet which many people have known to blindly follow without any research or validating their founding one of the biggest known examples if “Pizzagate” which happen in the US at around the 2016 Presidential election
In this instance a Pizza restaurant got heavily criticize and abused through their social media because of the spread of fake news that it is a nest for child trafficking activity, this got so bad that the news got coverage by The New York Times, where the owner quoted to say that "From this insane, fabricated conspiracy theory, we've come under constant assault. I've done nothing for days but try to clean this up and protect my staff and friends from being terrorized."
Which culminated into a big incident where one of the people that believed on this news got into the restaurant with a firearm which caused panic near the area especially with public shooting that have happen in US many times
So, with this I want to show a piece that told that blindly just following whatever you see in social media is not the right thing to do with potentially bringing harm to yourself and more importantly to others that could damage them mentally and physically as such I hope this piece will make other more wary on what they say and see in the internet as such the internet will become a peaceful place for anyone who use it

Do The Right Thing
In a world that is becoming increasingly polarised, perhaps the one thing that unites us all is the conviction that we are all acting for the right reasons. And having formed an opinion about an issue, there is little room to have it changed by listening to an opposing view. Fake news has eroded trust in facts. So how can we move forward?
