Although there is no single, universally agreed upon definition of Fake News, it is generally understood to mean “fabricated news,” “false news stories,” and so forth. According to the Cambridge English Dictionary, FN is defined as “false stories that appear to be news, spread on the internet or other media, usually created to influence political views” (see the link in Other Internet Resources). The prevalence of FN in online forums, and especially on social media sites and blogs, raises questions about whether SECs are complicit in furthering the dissemination of this false information.
