Summary:

* "A new study from researchers at Princeton University and New York University released on Wednesday found that people 65 years of age and over are seven times more likely to share fake news than those aged 18-29."

* "While age proved to be the best predictor of who shared what was determined to be fake news, researchers also found conservative users were more likely to share fake news."

You don't know me or even in which cohort I belong, so please refrain from posting personal attacks or from manipulating the discussion to shoot the messenger.

Additionally, do you also believe that the need to attend anual healthchecks for prostate cancer after men reach their 40s is discrimination?
