At the end of the day, it is a rather funny thing to acknowledge that people will trust anything they see on the internet. Be it a piece of news, a trend, or even a picture, people will trust it. This explains the mentality of our nation. It is better to double-check something before stressing over it. Double-check the sources instead of going nuts over some news that you ran into while scrolling through Instagram or Twitter.
