The dilemma

Your phone will not stop. The post has thousands of shares, and your private messages are split down the middle: take it down, leave it up, do something. You do not know if the accusation is true. A handful of comments mention that the man in the photo actually runs a different shop across town, but they are buried under the pile.

Your options

1. Take it down for now to stop the harm spreading to thousands more, until anyone actually knows the truth.
2. Apply the rule evenly: unproven accusations naming a private person come down, every time.
3. Stay out of it. Leave the post, mute your phone, and let the group sort itself out.
