"It turned out that most people could discern between true and fake
news. Yet they were willing to share outrageous news regardless of
whether it was true not - a result that was in line with previous
findings from Facebook and Twitter data. Many participants were
perfectly OK with sharing outrageous headlines, even though they were
fully aware those headlines were misinformation."
