  • In October 2017, what appears to be a legitimate news article appeared on Facebook, claiming that Virginia governor Terry McAuliffe legalized recreational and medicinal marijuana in the state of Virginia: An error-laden article automatically displayed the date on which it was opened, misleading readers into thinking it represented a brand-new development: The claim is completely false, originating with prank-generating fake news site React365. Although the ostensible purpose of the site is to allow people to prank one another with phony articles, overly broad general interest topics such as statewide marijuana legalization often rapidly spreads outside its creator's circle of Facebook followers.
