Analysis:
The article from 'Gazeta Aktive' contains a false title and content. After analyzing the fact-checked content, this article was categorized by hibrid.info as "Fake News", "Disinformation" and "Clickbait". Hibrid.info has decided to fact-check this article considering the great impact it may have on public opinion, through distribution on the Facebook page 'Gazeta Arkiva' which has 70 thousand followers.
Reasoning:
Fake News – The “Fake News” rating is given to media reports that are entirely the product of a medium that itself contains factually incorrect claims or information. Content that is rated as fake news can be reliably determined to have been created and distributed with the intent to misinform the public, i.e., to present a claim that is completely false as fact.
Disinformation – A “Disinformation” rating is given to media reporting that contains a “mix” of inaccurate sources or even half-truthful content. This rating will also address reports that have incorrect attributions or headlines that do not reflect the text in terms of accuracy of information.
Clickbait – “Clickbait” are those texts whose title has 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 only intended to click, which can be converted into a profit for the content producer.
