This is why we don’t have nice things… we rather think that an incorrect statement from a random unknown person on the internet comes from someone lazy or nefarious, that from someone just making a joke.
I think it is funny to think of ‘NEWS’ as a abbreviation, why else would so many news media print it in capitals.
The way the internet works, people have no chance to know if you’re kidding or being serious. It takes one misunderstanding, to turn a distribution of a joke into distribution of misinformation
Sure. However there is a difference between “NEWS is a acroym for something” and much more hurtful and/or political/commercial motivated spread of misinformation.
Any misinformation is imo a problem, no matter if it is intentional, unintentional, hurtful or innocent
Its the practise of misinformation that i find dangerous, no matter what its about. I understand that misinformation can be funny though, but it must clearly show that it is a joke
