Every day a mobile phone is slid open, and a large amount of information comes to a standstill. This article describes five places in a certain village where one must go to the restaurant. Another article is a peach news of a certain celebrity. After all, information comes into our heads, but how many news items are only misguided, and how much of the content is just garbage after professional packaging?

He made a non-existent restaurant, Become London Trip Advisor #1

Fake news is a common problem faced by our generation. In order to show the public how easy it is to fake on the Internet, VICE reporter Oobah Butler spent a full year creating a non-existent travel website Trip Advisor . The restaurant, “The Shed at Dulwich” , succeeded in getting The Shed to the top spot in London in a short time .

Before becoming a reporter, Butler made money by making fake reviews for restaurants, so he was particularly sensitive to such questions. One day he was cranky. "Now there are so many false news. Everyone is so willing to believe these nonsense. Maybe even fake restaurants may be sought after as popular places?" So Bulter 's experiment began.

At first Butler used his friends and relatives to write reviews, and then began to attract strangers to The Shed 's mystery (on The Trip Advisor , The Shed was an appointment-only restaurant), and more and more people called to place an inquiry. Even Butler 's letterbox was slammed.

He took a series of food shots with shaving foam, bleach, Nestle coffee powder, and his own fins as props, but no one seemed to find the weirdness. The popularity of The Shed grew day by day, and one day, Butler received one. A letter from Trip Advisor informs him that The Shed has officially become the first restaurant to be slammed by Londoners.

Someone still wants to book the next time

When Butler unveiled the scam, Trip Advisor ’s spokesperson said, “Generally speaking, the only people who will create these fake comments are only those who misconduct and want to test us. No one in the real world is interested in falsifying. A restaurant, which is not a common problem in our community, so this test has nothing to do with the real situation."

But Butler did not close here. He moved several tables and chairs to his own courtyard and roof, and he got DJs and waitresses. After a little decoration, he opened the reception. The Shed at Dulwich is probably the most humorous restaurant in history. All kinds of guests sit at the table and eat the microwave food that Butler sends. Some people don't face the strange location on the roof, and some use Mark. Drink glasses of red wine, some people are chased by live chickens, and the Butler team observes their reactions.

Unexpectedly, with the exception of some inconvenient negative comments, everything went so well that there were even guests who booked their next place. "I'm completely speechless," Butler said.

Reporter social experiments,

Fake news flooding draws attention from Singapore government

But Butler 's experiments and reports don't just make him laugh. The Shed at Dulwich case was recently discussed by a group of lawyers at a special congressional meeting in Singapore that discussed fake news. Congressman Edwin Tong showed the food shots that Butler shot with his feet, and Mila Pilao , the leader of Core Technology Marketing at Trend Micro , took the case to illustrate the issue of the content farm.

A brilliant social experiment has not only made people feel that the Internet world is unclear, but also succeeds in entering the political arena and contributes to a possible better environment.
