There was a fake story the other week about a teenage girl from Kazakhstan whose smartphone exploded while she was asleep, killing her. It had her full name, pictures and everything, but she never existed before the story. Who knows who the photos are actually of. Also, the British tabloids are the top hits for said story. Even other questionable sites that do nothing but aggregate stories reference these tabloids as their source. The funniest one was when one site referenced another site's article, but that second site's article was merely referencing the Daily Mail's article.
You would think this would be a big deal, especially for the manufacturer of the phone, who is of course never mentioned.
Found it funny that on one of these British tabloid sites, one person in the comment section actually points out that the story is suspicious, and everyone attacked and downvoted him or her because of it.
