Young people spend more time online than older generations, but this also means they're more likely to fall for fake news and misinformation.

    I’m GenX, I just don’t give a fuck.

    Interesting, though, how we’re not being mentioned… again :D

      B/c Gen X actually grew up doing this shit and already knows how to do it.

        I get a kick out of it when I see older Millennials trying desperately to fiddle with dates so they can be Gen X instead.

        Sorry man, ends in 80.
