How false news can spread - Noah Tavlin?

False news is like a rumor that runs really fast and makes people believe it even if it’s not true.

Imagine you're playing tag at recess, and someone says, “The teacher is gone!” That’s false news, it might not be true, but it gets everyone excited and running anyway.

When a person hears a rumor like that, they might tell their friends. Then those friends tell more people, just like how a game of telephone works. Each time someone shares the story, it can get bigger or even change a little bit.

Sometimes false news spreads super fast because people share it on phones and computers, like passing a message from one friend to another, but with millions of kids all over the world doing it at once!

It’s like when you whisper a secret to your best friend, and then they shout it to the whole class. That secret becomes a big, loud rumor in no time!
