You may hear people complaining about fake news a lot, but you may still be in the dark about what this actually means. Fake news is news from a media outlet that is either exaggerated or erroneous, misleading viewers to believe that it is true for the sake of some higher power. Facebook has been guilty of not only spreading, but condoning the use of fake news for years now, and even got caught out for misleading its users over the 2016 election in the states. Because WhatsApp is owned by Facebook, you can connect the dots and imagine that they’re not to be trusted around this topic, either.
