Obama is worried about fake news on social media – and we should be too
This news article is reviewing obamas comments made in the new yorker about the news being false online and the impact this might have had on the recent election, “If we can’t discriminate between serious arguments and propaganda, then we have problems.” this quoted from him speaks for itself as fake news that people believe to be true can have serious impacts.
I believe that fake news is becoming a real issue and with 62% of US adults using social media for their news fake news stories are in abundance here and this has lots of influence. Also during the UK referendum campaign the lie about the mysterious £350 million could have swayed a lot of voters whilst not even being true.
