This is going to be a HUGE problem - Massive. An article I read today said The Daily Caller created and spread fake nude photos of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Think about that for just a moment... What some people consider a legit news site created and spread fake nude pictures of a US Congresswoman. AND if that's not enough, people believe it.
People spread fake news with zero interest in doing research. Some kid I went to high school with posted something the other day - non political - which was quickly proven false. His only defense was "I am not good at tech stuff". Well, if you aren't good at tech stuff you shouldn't be sharing stuff on the internet.
Eventually we will get to the point where you will need to have a verified social media account (meaning you will physically have to walk into an office somewhere to have your ID checked) and AI will rate you based on how much fake news you put out or how much fake news you share.
