Fake news refers to deliberate false reports and manipulated images that mimic the style of real news. Initially, they were used to attract visitors with fabricated content to websites with advertising banners. More recently, political interests have often taken centre stage. The aim of disinformation is to deliberately stir up a certain mood.
On social media, false reports are shared thousands of times without their accuracy being verified.
