Should people who create "fake news" and alternative facts be charged?

Question

And why?

Answer

I think so. It would fall under Incite to Riot maybe.

Answer

No. If people read it and get upset because they didn't fact check it first, that is their own idiocy. Can't believe every single thing you read.

Answer

Yes, with their own ignorance and dismissivness of the true facts that scientists and professionals actually worked to put forth information for society's benefits.

Answer

I wish, and then we could make ignorance a crime😂

Answer

Absolutely not. Freedom of the press and that's a real slippery slope! If anything lets charge all the idiots who believe it and help share it without using some basic research/fact checking skills (or hell, even common sense).

Answer

How exactly would you charge them? They have every right to spread bullshit if people aren't smart enough to check their sources, and take stuff they see as gospel.
 
CHECK YOUR FACTS AND SOURCES! If you're misinformed, it's kinda your fault. Use credible sources and multiple sources. Do your own research. See if you can find the information yourself.

Answer

Answer

Answer
