“Fake news has always existed, but online its impact is potentially boundless. The most worrying aspect is that fake news, whether it’s driven by profit or as political propaganda, is all too often an antechamber to hate. It is the combination between fake news that targets adversaries, and the hate this enables, that risk short-circuiting our democracies. It not only pollutes the debate, but it may distort how consensus is built.” —
