Article Draft
silly little plan for the everybody

Evan - Already added two sources in the final paragraph of the introduction, will see if I can implement the third somewhere or add a paragraph that is valuable (maybe expand on the history section, as the source I didn't use addresses so many historical instances of it).

Cian - I will be replacing two of my sources and adding new ones under the history section of the article. I will touch more on the first recorded large scale disinformation campaign, the "Great Moon Hoax" published in 1835 because there is limited information on it. The second article I will add relates and connects with the spread of misinformation on social media. For as big as a problem this is, it is not noted enough in the article. If necessary, i will add an additional paragraph.

Will- I'll add two more sources and find credible evidence of misinformation and how it is used in. I want to add sources in the social media section and edit it to be more comprehensive of how misinformation is used in online spaces.

Social media sites like Facebook have been proven to have algorithms that aid to the spread of misinformation. https://gwtoday.gwu.edu/facebooks-design-makes-it-unable-control-misinformation=== Lead ===
