The following content is social network users often distribute unknowingly.
Manipulated content
Pictures and videos that digitally appear less frequently than "wrong time/location" content transformed with Photoshop and other image editing tools. Such content is most often distributed with the aim of deceiving, and its falsehood is more difficult to recognize.
Staged content
Staged content is the least common type of false content because its creation requires the most effort.
Fake news sites
Fake news sites that mimic trusted news sites have proven to be a good tool for the distribution of false content. Their URLs or WHOIS records often contain references to that they are not real media.
The Estonian public broadcaster manages the website err.ee (Russian version address is "rus.err.ee"). At the same time, there is a website "eer.ru" on the web that is visually similar (like many news portals) and whose address (URL) can cause embarrassment for the less attentive web users.
