The links in this challenge are not live for these reasons:

  • Many "fake news" websites are created solely to earn money by baiting people into clicking on fictional stories. We do not want to drive traffic — and additional revenue — to such sites.
  • Some sites that publish misinformation contain cyber-security threats.

  • Sites that publish "fake news" often change their names and URLs — sometimes to evade social media filters and sometimes because their previous name and URL were identified as producing misinformation. Some of the non-legitimate URLs in this challenge are no longer live. 

Please do not visit the non-legitimate websites that we have identified in this challenge.
