Rumors

Rumors are unverified pieces of information or stories that circulate informally within a community or group. They often arise from speculation, hearsay, or anecdotal evidence and can pertain to various subjects, such as events, people, or situations. Rumors may spread rapidly and can influence public perception, behavior, and emotions. While some rumors may contain elements of truth, others can be entirely false or exaggerated, leading to misinformation. The context in which rumors are shared can vary, including social interactions, media platforms, or community gatherings. They play a significant role in shaping societal narratives, often reflecting the interests or concerns of those who share them.
