On 23 November 2015 the web site Now8News published an article positing that President Obama had signed a bill that would soon lower the age of sexual consent in the U.S. to 13: Some social media users attributed the purported legislation to the advancement of a homosexual agenda, while others (as in the example tweet embedded above) described it as a harbinger of Sharia law. But the report involving that purported legislation was just another fabrication that originated with Now8News, a fake news site that doesn't feature a disclaimer warning readers they publish fiction. On 22 February 2017, Now8News dusted the same piece off for another go-around, this time attributing the putative sexual consent law change to President Donald Trump: The claim, like Now8News, remains just as fake as it always was.
