Fake News Factory: How Vietnam's HTV Network Duped Canadians A recent investigation by CBC/Radio Canada has exposed a Vietnamese company called HTV Network, which has been generating fake news stories using AI algorithms to dupe unsuspecting Canadians into clicking on ads that generate profit.
The company creates fake news stories and posts them on Facebook pages with millions of followers, often linking to websites that host inflammatory or misleading content.
HTV's CEO, Ngo Anh Tan, denies any involvement in the fake news empire despite mounting evidence pointing to his company's culpability.
