The way the internet works, people have no chance to know if you're kidding or being serious. It takes one misunderstanding, to turn a distribution of a joke into distribution of misinformation
Sure. However there is a difference between "NEWS is a acroym for something" and much more hurtful and/or political/commercial motivated spread of misinformation.
Any misinformation is imo a problem, no matter if it is intentional, unintentional, hurtful or innocent
Its the practise of misinformation that i find dangerous, no matter what its about. I understand that misinformation can be funny though, but it must clearly show that it is a joke
