After Trump’s inauguration, the mention of fake news has grown for better or for worse. But who’s to blame? Trump? The Russians? The internet? Or perhaps, ourselves? “If we want to see an end to fake news, we need to stop clicking on it, and stop spreading it.”
TNW believes in the phrase “vote with your dollar” when it comes to fake news. Our clicks are generating money for these shady outlets and it’s not just because of their misleading and exaggerated headlines, it lies in our inability to critically think for ourselves. “Don’t click on the crazy stories you see. If you know it’s fake but think it’s funny, you’re still paying with your click. Stop it.”
