In the very first stanza of the Havamal, Odin says, "At every door-way, ere one enters, one should spy round, one should pry round for uncertain is the witting that there be no foeman sitting, within, before one on the floor."
From this stanza, the application is quite clear, to be cautious and aware of ones surroundings. Thus, being aware of the dangers of the outside world is abiding by Odin's will.
In stanza 23, Odin also says, "The unwise man is awake all night, and ponders everything over; when morning comes he is weary in mind, and all is a burden as ever."
From this stanza, the application is to not be worrisome, which is all too common when one absorbs too much negative media.
Pessimism & nihilism are the unfortunate effects of the modern-media industrial-complex. As Pagan people, we should be aware of the dangers and goings-ons of the world, but not to the point where you worry all the time.

Telegram has gained a reputation as the “secure” communications app in the post-Soviet states, but whenever you make choices about your digital security, it’s important to start by asking yourself, “What exactly am I securing? And who am I securing it from?” These questions should inform your decisions about whether you are using the right tool or platform for your digital security needs. Telegram is certainly not the most secure messaging app on the market right now. Its security model requires users to place a great deal of trust in Telegram’s ability to protect user data. For some users, this may be good enough for now. For others, it may be wiser to move to a different platform for certain kinds of high-risk communications. This ability to mix the public and the private, as well as the ability to use bots to engage with users has proved to be problematic. In early 2021, a database selling phone numbers pulled from Facebook was selling numbers for $20 per lookup. Similarly, security researchers found a network of deepfake bots on the platform that were generating images of people submitted by users to create non-consensual imagery, some of which involved children. Again, in contrast to Facebook, Google and Twitter, Telegram's founder Pavel Durov runs his company in relative secrecy from Dubai. Soloviev also promoted the channel in a post he shared on his own Telegram, which has 580,000 followers. The post recommended his viewers subscribe to "War on Fakes" in a time of fake news. The Russian invasion of Ukraine has been a driving force in markets for the past few weeks.
