The dubious Albanian-language portal "worldnews83.com" has published an article titled "Primary school students return to class with masks."
Hibrid.info has checked the facts in this article, confirming that the title is general and does not clarify which country it is referring to. However, only after clicking can you notice that this decision concerns the country of France.
This dubious portal publishes articles related to Kosovo, and now with this generalizing title placed on this article, it could very easily misinform readers by implying that this decision is about Kosovo.
Excerpt from the text of the article published on "worldnews83.com":

Analyze:
The dubious portal "worldnews83.com" has published an article about the state of France regarding a decision to require students to wear masks as a result of the Corona virus. However, this article has been given a general title without indicating which state made this decision.
Since this dubious portal publishes articles in Albanian and most of them are dedicated to Kosovo, it can be said that with this generalizing title it can very easily misinform readers, implying that it is about the Kosovo state.
From fact-checking based on the work methodology, hibrid.info has assessed this article as "clickbait".
Reasoning:
The “Clickbait” rating is given to texts whose titles have no basis in the content of the following text. Such texts and articles aim to attract the attention of the reader or even the consumer with a sensational title by promising content that does not actually exist and are created mainly out of financial interest, that is, due to increased readability. So, this type of text is intended only to click, which can be converted into a profit for the content producer.
