That's all it is.
If you believe that we have nothing more to discuss. I suspect fake news has been around as long as there has been news. Just a new name.
I agree with Cuzz on the surface. It has been around forever, and it always ends the same way. It is the beginning of the "need" for censorship.
This is how it begins, and some "speech" will be curtailed, for the "better good".
BEWARE of this "new" trendy idealism.
You are both wrong. SOCIAL MEDIA has NOT been around as long as there has been news.
You are proclaiming there is something new under the sun?
Early social media was, hanging around by the fire pit, sharing hunting stories and such.
