The Guardian
& the global problem of fake news
1) What similarities do you notice between the different countries outlined in the article and their problems with fake news?
One thing that I have noticed is that many different countries have experienced fake news. In Italy where they wanted women to stop getting abortions so they produced fake news so that it would persuade them not to get an abortion.

2) Is
fake news an inevitable consequence of the "culture of freedom and
innovation" that the internet has brought with it? Is there a way to stop
it?
I believe that the internet enables users to produce whatever they want which is sometimes hard to regulate for example fake new. This then makes it harder for consumers who are viewing the article to distinguish what's real and what's fake.

New York Times
and the creation of fake news
1) Which fake news stories were particularly successful for Beqa Latsabidze, the 22-year-old student in Tbilisi, Georgia, who tried to make money from web articles on Trump?
Fake news was first brought into light around US Presidential elections. There were articles shared on social media sites such as Facebook in favour of Donald Trump were more popular than those in favour of Hillary Clinton. A website was created discussing this topic and because of this generated revenue.

2) How
much can Facebook and Google be blamed for this global rise in fake news?
I personally believe these massive companies Google and Facebook can only be blamed for the stories that have only been published on their site.
