Q: Is Vkontakte susceptible to the same kind of fake news clickbait as Facebook is?
@zeynep
I didn't say anti-govt. I said fake news clickbait. Doesn't have to be anti-govt. Agree abt short leash, obviously.

I am sure it is awash, like any social media site, in clickbait and fake(ish) stuff. Maybe
@tanyalokot can speak to content. -
As far as I've seen, plenty of click bait, and RuNet has its fair share of fake news sites which get shared, but 1/2

TY. Is it stuff that might be seen as oblique satire abt non-political stuff but aimed at Putin? Or not at all?
@zeynep -
Actually most of the fakes are generated by the pro-gov side, at least the ones re: geopolitics, conflict, etc.

Thanks.
