Twitter designer Dan Saffer racked up tens of thousands of engagements for a tweet about a hoax story from ThereIsNews.com, a site run by a group based in Spain that calls itself the Comedy Factory. The site’s “Legal Warning” describes it as “a humor site whose purpose is entertainment. The content of TIN is fiction and does not correspond to reality.”
The same group also operates two popular hoax/satire sites in Spanish, HayNoticia.esand LaVozDelbecario.es. All of the stories on these sites are fake too.
