Media Messages: Media and Fraser Valley

media messages: While citizens may feel that they are being helpful by forwarding on cautionary messages they see on social media or receive by email, there's a counter-cautionary tale to be told about doing that as well, according to Georgia Asian. Yesterday December 11 the APD took to social media to quell fears arising from some viral social media messages about crime in the Fraser Valley. However, a sudden proliferation of alarming social media posts making these claims has prompted the Abbotsford Police Department APD to address the issue relevant to all citizens beyond Abbotsford of what to do about such online alerts from unconfirmed sources. The APD stated that they have been observing several posts on social media over the past two weeks that may appear alarming to community members. The Abbotsford News reported that an Abbotsford organization issued a public safety bulletin about some incidents that went viral among community members. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
