    "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."
