Summary/Abstract: Fake news is a phenomenon that, along with the speed of mass communication nowadays, has an enormous potential to do harm. Be it propagated consciously or not, this reality is yet to be addressed at a sufficient scale to be minimized and then eventually, ignored. Its range is non-discriminatory as it affects a wide array of domains, from politics and military operations, to high-life and common people’s lives. It can influence elections up to the point that can decide the free choice of a countries’ leadership or significantly reduce the huge volume of resources invested in a military operation.
