We
have all done it. We have all one time or another fell for something on
Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook that turned out to be false. It’s a common
mistake made by many but can we end it? Odds are that we cannot “end” fake news
because of how it easy it is to edit and manipulate things with modern
technology. Geoffrey Fowler wrote, “Misinformation is part of an online economy
that weaponizes social media to profit from our clicks and attention.”
Companies and websites will continue to dish out clickbait as long as it
continues to bring on traffic to their website. https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2018/10/18/i-fell-facebook-fake-news-heres-why-millions-you-did-too/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.3b83e485ba0d
