Life and style Experience Experience: I write fake news I’m furthering ignorance, certainly, but I don’t think people have died as a result of my work ‘I vehemently disagree with what I write.’ Photograph: Mark Chilvers for the GuardianI’ve been writing articles for far-right websites in the US for a year now. I was writing fake Amazon reviews and descriptions of perfume that had yet to be produced. There are vast numbers of such sites: I’ve written fake reviews of amplifiers, baby products, printers and sex toys. I write articles arguing that banning bump stocks, which enable semi-automatic guns to fire more rapidly, won’t prevent mass shootings and that the left skews statistics. I suppose the articles I write would be regarded as fake news.
