Fake News

Last month, this picture of a baby platypus was being shared around the internet. Most people couldn’t believe how cute it was. But there was a surprise in this story. This baby platypus is in fact not real. It’s a model made by an artist.

These days, a lot of false information is shared on the internet. It’s becoming more difficult to know what is real and what is not. The Corona Virus has been the most talked about issue of 2020 so far. But there is a lot of false information about it too. For example, in Japan many people spread rumors there was not enough toilet paper in the country. Because of this, toilet paper companies had to tell us that there was no supply problem. But this didn’t stop people going out and buying all the stock.

We live in a time where you must be careful about what you see in the news. Always check many different sources for your news!
