Fake News refers to false or misleading information that is presented as factual news. It includes fabricated stories, hoaxes, or misinformation created and spread through various online platforms. This term gained popularity due to the prevalence of unreliable sources on the internet and the ease with which false information can be shared.
Examples:
1. During the election season, there were several instances of fake news circulating on social media. One example was a fabricated article claiming that a candidate was involved in a scandal, which influenced many voters’ opinions.
2. A popular internet meme falsely claimed that a certain fruit had curing properties for a serious illness. This fake news caused people to believe in a false remedy and potentially ignore or delay seeking proper medical treatment.
