On average, it takes more than 12 hours for a false claim to be debunked online. One study analyzed rumors on Twitter and found that a rumor that turns out to be true is often resolved within two hours of first emerging. But a rumor that proves false takes closer to 14 hours to be debunked. Rumors always spread faster than the truth, so the wise wait for the whole story. Rick Warren. A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes. So says another popular saying. “Fools believe everything they hear.” Biblical Proverbs 14:15. Next time you hear a rumor spreading fast like wildfire, and in hours it is neither confirmed nor debunked, just know its falsehood.
