Too Long; Didn't Read
The Trusted Web Foundation's report outlines what 2000 Americans and Europeans see as the effects of fake news, both on themselves and society. One-third of those who thought they wouldn't be duped by fake news ended up inadvertently sharing it with their followers, not knowing it was fake. Fake news may be false information spread in images or posts, doctored images or deep fake videos, images, videos from other events said to be a different event, and more. Fake news is created to be sensational and easily shareable and can go viral quickly.
