We’ve already had a fake news ‘vaccine’ but now a video game has become the latest tool to stop people being lulled into believing news stories that quite simply aren’t true.
The game is meant to teach players to be more savvy about misinformation in the media, and how these fictitious accounts spread, to stop them falling victim.
In the game you take on the role of a fake news producer and score points by winning followers for peddling your conspiracy theories and (angry) tweets.
