The problem has to do with Apple’s Safari browser, specifically the version of this browser that exists on various iOS devices and platforms. This version of Safari has a unique link sharing feature, one that is meant to make it so that users can share and comment on articles that they might have read online. However, the fact of the matter is that this feature has a problem associated with it. This problem is that it allows users to edit headlines before they post the article, something that could lead to some pretty disastrous consequences when it comes to things like misinformation and the like.
Users are able to share articles with altered titles, and this is something that could lead to a lot of fake news being shared. The fact of the matter is that most people don’t really think about reading the article, they mostly just read the headline and form an opinion based on that. This really isn’t a good way to go about doing things but it’s the nature of human behavior at this current point in time. Apple really needs to fix this issue before it gets out of hand, especially after such a contentious election has just occurred in the US which has lead to an increase in fake news.
