Fake News Websites

Fake news websites (also referred to as hoax news websites) are Internet websites that deliberately publish fake newshoaxes, propaganda,and disinformation purporting to be real news—often using social media to drive web traffic and amplify their effect.

Unlike news satire, fake news websites deliberately seek to be perceived as legitimate and taken at face value, often for financial or political gain. Such sites have promoted political falsehoods in India, Germany, Indonesia and the Philippines, Sweden, Mexico, Myanmar, and the United States. Many sites originate in, or are promoted by, Russia, North Macedonia Romania, and the United States.
