ho9w can i talk about this source
the rapid spread of fake news can influence millions of people, impacting elections and financial markets. A study on the impact of fake news stories about hillary clinton was very strongly linked to the defection of voters who supported barack obama in the pervious election.
to strm the rising influence of fake news some countries have made the creatio and distriution of deliberately false informatin a crime . singpore is the latest country to have oassed a law against fake news, joining others like germeny malaysia france and russia.
but using the law to fight the wave of fake news may not be the apporch. human rights activist legal experts and others fear these laws have the potetial to be misused to stifle free speech or unintentionally block legitimate online posts and website.

First, introduce the topic of the influence of fake news and their impact. Define what fake news are by researching the definition online (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fake_news). Make sure you cite your sources.
Next, bring concrete examples from the source of how fake news have had impact on individuals and how countries has reacted as a response to fake news (e.g. defection of voters in the election or the law to fight wave of fake news). State your position/opinion on fake news using the evidence of how fake news are impacting the world from the source. Bring up other examples of your own to support your position (fake news that you know about. If you don't, perhaps find additional material online with examples of impact of fake news that may be of interest to you). Make sure you elaborate your position on the examples provided in the source. For example how do you feel about the law to fight the wave of fake news? Do you believe it is effective? Do you feel fear that this has potential to stifle free speech? Yes or no? Why? Why do you think fake news are created? What can we do when we see such news? As a heavily social media influenced generation, it is very important we are careful with what news we believe and find strategies to detect fake news. It's not always easy as there will always be bias online. Perhaps suggest ways we can check if a source of news online is reputable to use at least and write as a student what you plan to do when you come across news that appear fake to you.
In conclusion, state the importance of learning about fake news and their impact on the world and how being aware of fake news can help you and the community/world at large.
