I suddenly think of the fake bomb alert last year, http://www.theverge.com/2016/12/27/14088982/fake-news-safety-check-bangkok-thailand http://www.theverge.com/2016/12/27/14088982/fake-news-safety.... I can't tell this is going to have false negative or positive situation. It might be worse. How do we prevent the former? I don't think there is a way.
