Hello, Dear Diary
How are you? I hope you are doing good unlike me. I am quite in stress this days. As you know there are lots of advantages using social networking sites, but there are disadvantages also. Recently I am getting lots of fake news and messages on my WhatsApp. Even many educated people forward it without giving it second thought. And this cause me to get angry.
How can people be so irresponsible. This kind of fake news can cause great and potential harm. Yesterday I received a message that my favorite actor died in car accident, I was so shocked reading it but later I found out that it was fake news. How can people play with someone's emotion.
This is really shattering that people do not understand and cannot differentiate between real and fake news and keeps it forwarding. They should check something before forwarding it.

This misguides the users and further leads to mistrust among people. This has become the proven method to distract active users.
Although many social media platforms are initiating programs to slow down the spread of search fake news. It is our responsibility as social media users to identify the genuineness of the forwarded message whether it is fake. It is quite obvious that people who are reading forwarded fake news are most likely to believe.
