Lo que el judaísmo enseña sobre Compartir noticias falsas en línea
Según el judaísmo, Compartir noticias falsas en línea se considera Pecado.
La ley judía prohíbe difundir lashon hara incluso cuando la información es cierta; la información falsa y dañina es mucho peor (motzi shem ra). Quien dice «pero yo solo lo reenvié» sigue siendo responsable de la difusión.

Judaism's speech-ethics tradition is famously strict: the Talmud says lashon hara kills three people — the speaker, the listener, and the subject (Arachin 15b) — and that applies even when the content is true. Fake news, being false as well as harmful, sits under the stricter heading of motzi shem ra, spreading an evil name. The Chafetz Chaim ruled that one may not relate harmful information even if he believes it true, because belief is not verification — a standard that makes the average retweet a halakhic event. There is also a positive duty: 'Justice, justice shall you pursue' (Deuteronomy 16:20), which rabbinic authorities read as an obligation to correct misinformation one has spread. The tradition's practical rule fits a share culture: before speaking, ask if it is true, if it is kind, and if it is necessary.

Clearly labeled humor that no one could believe is not false witness. The problem begins when the label is absent or the joke deceives. If any reader could be misled, all three traditions counsel correction or deletion.
Does deleting a false post fix the problem?
Deletion stops the harm from growing, but correction does more.
Deletion stops the harm from growing, but correction does more. Jewish law requires publicly correcting a falsehood one has spread.
