Social Media and Fake News

This week, we will be discussing the proliferation of the fake news phenomenon by examining why it matters, how it spreads, different motivations behind it, and possible legal, market-based, and code-based approaches to addressing it.

In preparation for Tuesday, please have a look at this YouTube video discussing how to spot fake news, and this article which discusses the recent MoMo hoax and its widespread effects.

See you then!

    I’ve been surfing online more than 3 hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours.
    It’s pretty worth enough for me. Personally, if all site owners and bloggers made good
    content as you did, the net will be much more
    useful than ever before. I could not resist
    commenting. Very well written! I have been browsing online more than three hours today,
    yet I never found any interesting article like yours. It is pretty worth enough for
    me. In my view, if all web owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the net will be much more useful than ever before.
