Company description
Last week, I touched on a case of fake news and click-baiting that existed before computers were even invented, the yellow journalists of late 1800’s New York. The problem, though not as on a mass scale as Facebook, has happened before and has gone away over time. But, I only briefly touched on the parallels that Facebook had with newspapers at the time. Both share a strong common motivator for fake news in the first place, profit from advertisers.
