Apple Safari announces fake news

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

One researcher has raised concerns that this feature could be abused to share "fake » that have 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 .

Η link generated by iMessage, will display the fake news as text coming from the real page.
