Fake news spreads like viruses all over the internet. It’s terrifying. Bots and algorithms now exist that can easily spit out fake content within a matter of seconds.
That content is then spread to influencers who use anything to bolster their arguments.
How can you decide what is fake news or not? Google it. Also, if it’s too good to be true, it probably isn’t true.
