Spread of False news; it's dangers to the society.

[TeeGee]

The social media has become home for numerous kinds of information and conversation and some of the information spread on social media are with malicious intent, which are intentionally Targeted to create fear or defame another Individuals.

Spread of such malicious news is a trend in many parts of the world and a lot of unsuspecting individuals has fallen victim to such. Cooking up fake stories about the government or or an organization or even a person which could damage their reputation.

Stories like this had led to many conflicts or even wars. And we should all refrain from it. Is there anything that could be done to stop the spread of fake news?

Problem is, no one trusts nobody. Everyone is kind of against each other. News can't be accurate because no one is willing to take someone else's word. Fake news is merely the surface of how separated society has become.

I sincerely feel that this could be one of the factors that could permanently wipe us all out, fake news are the major causes of wars and if there is such out with the current use of nuclear weapons it might be devastating to human kind if another major war should breakout.

Fake news is super dangerous to society but the problem is people are raised to think that they are always right and being wrong is the worst thing to ever happen. That's why fake news spreads so quickly because people like to pretend to be right and they often don't do any research to figure out what is true and just roll with it. It's why things get out of hand so badly.

The only thing that we can do about fake news is to stop spreading when it came out. One should verify the information that they want to share with the public before they even go ahead to star sharing it to avoid issues.

We are just clamouring for more juicy updates that why many blogs that spread malicious contents are really doing well. This is so terrible that people are now a living distributing news that aren't true on various platforms like social media and other blog spot.

Most people are trigger happy to share just about anything they see online without have to verify it. It's part of the reason why fake news and updates spreads like wild fire.

Fake news is so dangerous and can be spread so easily as the outlets that spread it are so sneaky in how they do it. To people which aren't aware of things such as fake news it can be easy to just read things online and take it as fact. The amount and range of fake news sources means I think that regulating or banning it will be so difficult. there needs to be more education to people on where to find reliable news sources and how to research to find the facts and true news.

 

[Reticent]

I find that the biggest issue about fake news is that people pick a side and then just believe what they are told without questioning anything. I feel as though society has forgotten that researching a point is so, so important.

People live life just wanting to be right rather than learning the truth and most of the time the fake news only exists to make some rich person's life better over other peoples. Social media helps contribute to this so much too.

 

[Ravenfreak]

Fake news does do more harm than good, and it doesn't help that people fail to do their own research. When this happens, fake news just continues to spread and people eat it up. That's why I don't trust the media in general and get my news from reliable sources that aren't mainstream news such as Fox or CNN.

People need to decipher what is real or not themselves. It should not be the job for social media. Well, for one thing, social media, news sites etc. are often biased.
