"Fake news" is becoming a huge problem for society. It's not only politics.
There was a time when you had to be smart to get online. Back then not only did you have to build your computer, but also add a modem in, subscribe to a service, and then navigate the Internet - which was difficult back then. We didn't have Google back then.
Now anyone with a complete lack of common sense gets on line and posts pure bullshit. Again, it's not only politics. People post up stupid stuff that a four second Google search clearly and quickly disproves. In some cases, I am noticing that when people post up nonsense Facebook puts up links to an article on snopes proving it to be fake.
It's only a matter of time before people and companies start filing lawsuits if they haven't already. If you post up something about a product that is false and it damages sales, they can and should go after you.
