Marc Ambinder writes in his article about how fake news has been on the rise more than ever since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. Ambinder says that this is more than just democracy but fake news but the difference between life and death during such an unprecedented time like the pandemic. While everyone has ideas on how to stop the circulation of fake news not everything is going to work in the way people would think. One major example of this is censoring social media and “fact-checking” posts. While this sounds great they cannot completely take it off the platform because of the first amendment and free speech.
