Ce que le judaïsme enseigne sur Partager de fausses informations en ligne
Selon le judaïsme, Partager de fausses informations en ligne : Péché.
La loi juive interdit de propager la lashon hara même quand l'information est vraie ; l'information fausse et nuisible est bien pire (motzi shem ra). Celui qui dit « je n'ai que partagé » reste responsable de la propagation.

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.

Repentance: Teshuvah
The Talmud teaches that teshuvah was created before the world itself — Hashem believed in your return before you were born. The gates of return are open now.

Traditions differ on the wording but agree on the duty of care. Judaism restricts even true harmful speech, so unverified speech is worse.
What about sharing fake news as a joke?
Clearly labeled humor that no one could believe is not false witness.
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.
