Rumor spread in social network

Rumor spread in social networks happens when people share stories or information that are not true. This usually happens very quickly because it is easier and faster to share information on the internet than it is in real life. People can spread rumors by sending messages, posting on social media, or talking to their friends. Sometimes, people will share stories or information without fact-checking them first, which makes it easy for rumors to spread. To prevent rumor spread, it is important to double-check information before sharing, and not to believe everything you read.
