Hey Surly, I just played this new game out there formulated to teach people how fake news is created and spreads. You play the part of some clever evil scoundrel that games people for all they are worth. I played and got a little over 10,000 simulated twitter followers from a fake news site called Cosmos where I was the  "editor-in-chief".

Check it out and see how ya do!

The study takes a novel approach: a game. Researchers designed a Fake News Game, in which players “take on the role of a fake news creator” with a goal of attracting “as many followers as possible while also maximising credibility.” Through six scenarios in which players are offered a “choose your own adventure” set of options, they learn about the strategies used to spread misinformation in pursuit of becoming a Titan of Fake News (Rupert Murdoch, basically).

The game captures the sorts of fake news strategies we see all the time, from impersonation (see: NIPCC) to emotional content and polarization to conspiracy theories and attacking opponents on personal grounds.

Not sure I want to. It is simply amazing the level of mistrust our communication has come to. This is real meta-level stuff.
