BBC: Nigeria elections: Websites use false stories to attract views and ads. “Several websites established around the time of Nigeria’s general elections in February 2023 are reaching thousands of people while spreading false news, the BBC has found. A high number of adverts on the websites mean they can be profiting from the spread of disinformation.They weave false stories with factual news about sports, entertainment, and politics – with some publishing as many as 700 pieces per month.”
