Some issues with finding information is the ability to find the exact information you want from a credible source.

Sometimes you need to dig deep, using different search terms to find exactly what you want.


Yes, i do have concerns about the online platform that was used. Information posted doesn't have to be credible.

Online information can be trusted dependent on the source of the information. In this case we were researching about a DEL, which the person posted of himself. Now that person could be lying about themselves, but Facebook information can be use as a reference to a more professional source. 

Sometimes it is not easy to spot fake news while researching, but if your search is more in-depth, one can spot fake information. 

In this case i didn't need to do any other search since I also personally knew the person I was investigating about.
