Fake News

As I learned in class, many people create fake news. For what reason I am not quite sure. For instance, a group was created in Russia where they created a bunch of fake news. Not only did they spread this fake news through tweets, they also created realistic looking websites to help fool people into believing it. “Fake news” is pretty much just disinformation and hoaxes. This has a very wide range of things that fall into this category such as clickbait on youtube,which are “stories that are deliberately fabricated to gain more website visitors and increase advertising revenue for websites.” for them more views equals more money.
