Apple Safari announces fake news

A link sharing feature in iOS versions of the Apple browser , allows users to , iPad and iPod Touch to change their titles when sharing parts of web pages.

One researcher has expressed concern that this feature could be misused to share "fake news" that has a wider impact.

While browsing web pages, such as news articles in the Safari web browser on iPhone or iPad, users can select and share a partial text from and not the whole page.

However, the text snippet may also come from a text input field that the user can control and edit.

In other words, users can type an arbitrary text into the line field of news sites and then "share" it through it .

The link preview created by iMessage will display the news as text coming from the actual page.
