Rumors have many causes, multiple wherewithal, and the greater their negative effects the more they involved to the media since it became widespread more fast and have worst impact specially famous social media and chatting programs on smart devices like Twitter, Whats App and Facebook due to their tools of interaction, proliferation, superior ability to quickly defame, and influence public opinion. Some researchers may attribute this to the weakness or lack of seriousness in implementing legislation, as well as the failure to raise awareness of the seriousness of rumors and ways to avoid them, and ways to verify the news, not to mention the failure of some official bodies to use the same means to deny rumors or disseminate correct information and communicate with the public. Rumors spread on communication sites play a big role in the industry of crises and conflict between individuals and society as these sites are available to all individuals and free of charge, and this confirms the dependence of users in obtaining news and information, and since the damage of rumors more than its benefits, its role is very large in the industry of division and dispersion and violence among users of social networking sites, especially young people, as they are a category that is easy to convince this news and its validity and facilitate their recruitment and adoption of certain ideas.
