Hello there,
As more and more people rely exclusively on Internet news sites and social media to find out about what's going on around us, the damage a lie, hoax or fake news story can do to a person's reputation is increasingly greater. As the following video demonstrates, 'deep fakes' can look really genuine.
Who might be interested in creating and spreading fake news? Where should we be getting our news from? Should we think twice before we share or spread some news which we know might not be true? You may want to download and listen to this report as well and then leave your comment. Go on, spread the news!

Wow...Obama saying a lot of outrageous and swear words, I like it!...or, let me think...maybe he hasn´t said them. In any case, don´t be naive!, as simulation techniques are used in a world that doesn´t make out the difference between reality and fiction.
There isn´t a shadow of a douth that organized groups are hired to discredit someone, we must be aware of it and don´t share this kind of news. It´s very easy. If you don´t share it´s not news. But, how to know if a piece of news about fake news may also be fake news or interesting news? , obviously, we must compare and check it before sharing it like crazy.
Nowadays, we tend to broadcast news on social networks with the push of a button without stopping to check its veracity, since it takes longer to check a story than to believe it.
It´s important to get our news from trusted news sources and we must take into account that sharing fake news could harm the lives of many people who may make wrong decisions.
Let's try to stop the chain of biological contagion and the spread of incorrect viral information. It´s in our hands.

In a world where everything is connected, everyone is connected. But today we are living a strange situation (different at least). We have more time to read or watch TV (or the internet) but at the same time we take less time to check the veracity of what we hear. We just believe it.
If the motto to stop the biological contagion of this virus is: "Stay home!", the motto to stop the panic produced by the false news would be: "Don't stop reading and confronting!"
