RE: Why MIT's Orwellian "Largest-Ever Study of Fake News" Is Nonsense.
One of the most frustrating things is getting into a debate with someone over politics and they use claims based upon whether Snopes says its true or false...
90% of fakebook users only know Snopes, and like you alluded to, take it for gospel.
Yes, it's fine to use another resource as reference, but if you cannot explain where the information comes from or demonstrate that you yourself understand what you are saying and why what you are saying is right/wrong then the situation is a huge problem and smacks of a potential propaganda machine with large numbers of unconscious footsoldiers!
