Shutdown myths find home on social media

The shutdown is kept going on for a week. The claims are starting to get harder in social media. There are two statements floating around the Twitter. First, The Obama administration stop the Amber Alert program because of the government shutdown. Second is the Obama administration shut down the ocean. This claim is based on closures at the national parks. Officials have restricted access to Florida Bay, because that's part of a national park. These two claims are both false. Nowadays, many people use twitter and facebook. The false truth is able to spread in a twinkling. The government shutdown is a big problem. However, regulation of false truth in social media is urgently needed.
