Starbucks has become a target for trolls and fake news following its recent racial incident in a store in Philadelphia. A fake coupon that offers free coffee to people of color has been spreading around and has caused outrages. People responded to this by saying things like, "Even if it's not real, I bet Starbucks would honor it." Many of these fake news and trolls start on anonymous message boards and eventually make their way to bigger sites with more people on them like Reddit and Twitter which makes it nearly impossible to find out where the fake news originated from.
