I have always believed that misinformation on the Internet was going to have serious repercussions at some point in time. The election of 2016 proved my point, and now the misinformation is only getting worse. The biggest problem is that we have a proliferation of what is being called "fake news" on sites like Facebook, and people are not bothering to do any research before believing what they read. I have an issue with the term "fake news" and I still believe there should be a confirmation button on every social media site that forces the poster to confirm that they did their homework before trying to misinform the public.
