There is a lot of fake news on the internet.
The fact is that if one writes and publishes something, one often takes it for granted, especially if the writer is a famous newspaper, site or blog. If you think about it, one always reads the news without checking it and so one ends up believing that a UFO has been seen, that the girl was stripping, that the actor is gay, that if you download films from the internet you are fined 100 million dollars, that digital terrestrial is a wonderful thing and so on. Often e-mails from friends also arrive with links to fantastic stories that, without paying too much attention, take themselves for good. An example is " sign the petition against paid Whatsapp! ".
Lately then the hoaxes are discovered at will on Facebook with groups that claim to tell you who visits your profile and things like that.
In another article we have seen the best online resources where to find the most famous hoaxes with websites to consult in case you have doubts.
This time, however, we are fools and we see how easy it is to create some invented stories that can also be shared on Facebook and attract likes and shares from careless people or without critical spirits. It will seem like creating internet pages or newspaper articles with your own stories, invented or fantastic, to make jokes to some friends or to pretend to be something you are not.
Basically, let's see how easy it is to create Fake News .
1) WasArrested is one of the best websites to create a joke story or a so-called "fake news", also in Italian, to be published on the internet .
Once inside, you can see on the left of the fields to be filled in and the choice of the pre-packaged story in English.
On the right, on the other hand, you can create your own story from scratch by inserting an image (where, for example, you can use a photo montage), writing the title, inserting who wrote the story and, finally, the complete narration.
At the end, you get a unique link that you can share on the internet, which leads to an online newspaper where the story seems written as real news.
2) Channel23news is a site that allows you to create posts with title, description and photos, ready for sharing on Facebook, which look like legitimate articles. With such a tool, anyone can create fake news and share it without even having to open their own site. The channel23news domain may even seem legitimate, albeit in English.
2.1) Fake News Generator is a site that allows you to create a PDF newspaper article where you can decide on text, title, author and image.
3) Noob.co.in generates prepackaged stories using a person's name and the information given by us. The site is in English and has no pretense of deception given how blatant the joking characterization is.
4) Clonezone is the site that allows you to create copies of the pages of the most popular sites, changing titles and contents as you wish . For example, you can clone the Repubblica site and write a different title on the first page or inside an internal article. The cloned page can also be shared on Facebook with a link that, for those who are inattentive, may also seem legitimate.
This thing of editing sites can also be done without external tools, by right clicking on the title or on a text of any site and then going to Inspect element . From the code that appears, you can then edit the words as you want to see them change on our screen and, if you want, you can take a screenshot creating the fake news. Obviously with CLone Zone everything is easier, above all because the modified pages can be saved and shared.
5) The best site to create fake news in Italian is Fodey where you can generate a fake newspaper clipping with an invented news item (see image above). In this case the title of the newspaper, the title of the story, the date and then the article must be written. At the end, press the "generate" button and you get the image of the newspaper clipping that can be saved on the computer.
6) BreakingNews Generator allows you to create an image that seems to be taken by CNN, with the typical Breaking News graphics, in which we can choose the titles.
Thanks to an app for Android and iPhone it is also possible to create the first page of newspapers such as Repubblica, Gazzetta and Corriere invented and personalized with title and photos.
Finally, I remember about creating fakes, that there are online tools to create anything, tickets, receipts, medical prescriptions, signs and so on.
Side note
This article aims to point out funny resources, which more or less blatantly have only humorous purposes. What the Fake News intended as fake news passed off as true is however a scourge of the internet, as long as you joke with this type of online tools, nice, smart and free, it's okay, but when you see sharing clearly false news from websites pure propaganda, it becomes dangerous.
