Warning!!! How Social Media Is Spreading Fake News
<html>
<p>On June 2017, the fake news story about the death of Vitalik Buterin caused Ethereum to lose 4B$ in Market Cap. In fact, Face Book and Google , are fraught with fake news of recent events that affect human lives -either the death of a popular celebrity or blaming an innocent person of a crime he/she did not commit. Moreover, this was true in the US election where special interest groups spread fake news on Facebook , Linkedin, Twitter and even google in order to win over large crowds for their political gains.&nbsp;</p>
<p>https://steemitimages.com/DQmXssCi77rxPSvVsty9mrb2Y63qz14XShwGekdwvz5AuDa/Google-and-Facebook-against-fake-news-sites.jpg</p>
<p><a href="https://www.google.de/search?biw=1093&amp;bih=510&amp;tbm=isch&amp;sa=1&amp;q=Facebook+and+Google+fake+news&amp;oq=Facebook+and+Google+fake+news&amp;gs_l=psy-ab.3...106201.112172.0.112553.29.29.0.0.0.0.118.2600.20j8.28.0....0...1.1.64.psy-ab..1.19.1814...0j0i67k1j0i30k1j0i19k1.0.GDCdFl5TFZ4#imgrc=2W49Ocoy-djWvM:">Pic Source</a></p>
<p>Recently, Facebook and Google promoted false news &nbsp;from &nbsp;Gateway Pundit story claiming that the shooter who killed more than 50 people in Las Vegas was a Democrat named Geary Danley , an Obama supporter who opposed Donald Trump. This lead to Geary DanleyΒ΄s pictures being shared everywhere in the internet and death threats were sent to his entire family because people without seeking to know the truth jumped to false conclusion. Some points to note:</p>
<ul>
  <li>&nbsp;<strong>Check the sources</strong>: you have to check the original source of the news before coming to a conclusion .For example, some sources are well known for their political or ideological views and will twist any story in their own favor.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;https://media1.giphy.com/media/3ohryCNP6uXSqXAoGA/giphy.gif</p>
<ul>
  <li><strong>Do your own research:</strong> ask questions and search on well-known / credible platforms in order to know if the story is true. &nbsp;</li>
  <li><strong>Read Past The Headline </strong>: read the main story in order to see the big picture-because some headlines are used to attract readers .</li>
  <li><strong>Who Is The Author</strong>: the author can reveal a lot of information about the news source, so take note.</li>
  <li><strong>Search If Other News Outlets Are Reporting It</strong>: if the news is real, then you can find it in most credible news platform.</li>
</ul>
<p><br></p>
<p><strong>Conclusion:</strong> Most of us are victims to online character assassination which is an unfortunate thing. In fact, fake news is everywhere: radio , TV, Internet, newspapers and can cause serious damage to &nbsp;our lives . It is therefore, important not to come to a premature conclusion rather we should do our own research via many credible sources in order to find out the truth.&nbsp;</p>

Yes, I can understand it, but how can anyone considering themselves "professional" can take those seriously?

How can someone be part of a white-collar job, that usually needs extensive mental challanges, and reconsidering statements, believe so much bullshit without realizing the contradiction and the lies?

Not that I think it's impossible, but rather surreal.

Because​ of social media, ​fake news got so much power.
It's terrible to see how people get scared​ because​ of that and this mostly why other people want to benefit from.

You use scare to benefit this is disgusting!

You are correct my friend...most news are based on scaring people and touching their emotions which can be dangerous.
Thanks for your comment

Sadly due diligence seems to be a thing of the past. In this age of "instant information" most people never even think to check and see if that sound bite they are gossiping about is accurate.
I've seen some crazy stories in the last couple of months on social media (Pepsi is discontinuing Mountain Dew? LOL)  And yet, even if you cite sources and debunk the gossip, it's like YOU are the bad apple for telling the truth. We truly have followed in Rome's footsteps, and just like them, we will fall if we are not careful.

I think this blind, non thinking reactionary response is the product of 40 years of an education system where logic, and critical thinking are no longer the number one concern.
It has been replaced by a non empirical educational bias.

'The humanities angle', if you will.

We are now reaping the rewards  of it, with a mal educated, emotionally driven population, who lack the skills to dissect, and analyze information clearly.

It does not bode well, and will take some years to 'revert back', I fear,

Net neutrality and decentralisation has a by-product, anyone and everyone has a certain degree of freedom to express information (whether true to fact or not) the way they see fit. Especially nowadays where "influencers" literally go around the internet touting dubious information and using their sphere of influence to spread information that may be inaccurate. 

However, it is also these axioms laid before us that allow the crowd to decide what to consider accurate, and what not to. If only humans had the ability to disengage from sheep herding behaviour, and think independently of peer pressure.

Sadly people of any age think that they must go along with the crowd.They want to be accepted even if they know otherwise as it is easier and sadly that is why many in this or thw previous generation have not created much in music,movies and other areas they have remade so much from the creativity that waa once plentiful but again that would take time and being able to think on their own.... Very sad ....

Absolutely I completely agree. Either its better the people learn to mature at humans and work together using intelligence & common sense respect. Nature will weed out what is not authentic in my opinion.

Fake news is so rampant view practically stopped watching it all together except for my local weather reports (which are also usually wrong ! LOL!)  I notice as well how some channels favor certain people and some just constantly rag on them without all the truth coming out like Trump for instance , only saying what they want you to hear !  I just cant be bothered to listen to the constant digs and bashing ! Life's to short !  Great post my friend thanks for sharing !πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ’™
