RE: Limited Attention and Information Overload Leads to Viral Misinformation (FakeNews)

in #fakenews7 years ago (edited)

I love your post layout. Awesome! Fake news do lead to misfortune. Have you read the Wall Street Journal vs Pewdiepie issue? WSJ released fake news about Pewdiepie, which then severed Pewd's relationship with Disney. The result, Pewd lost millions of dollars just because of misinformation.

By the way, we joined the same month/year and wow, you have 4K+ posts while I made very little progress.

Yeah I heard about it a few months ago. Falsity is powerful. All it takes is one lie to ruin someone. That's how powerful a lie can be. There can be 99% truth, but just one lie can take it all down... Hehe, yeah I've been posting and commenting. Thanks for the feedback.
