An NYU and Princeton University study has found that people older than 65 years are more likely to share fake news on Facebook. The study, conducted on 3,500 participants across ages, examined participants' behaviour before and after the 2016 US presidential elections. Posts on participants' timelines were then checked against a list of domains which historically shared fake news.
