There is a never ending list of reasons that people have for doing something that will cause harm or distress to another person. Rumors can spread across the world with social media, especially when someone has millions of followers.

The interest that story's create will draw a crow, and creating fake news can now create a profit. People can create a website and post fake story's, while having advertisements on the website, and make a revenue by views and shares.
