Turkey topped the world with false news, with the list of countries complaining about the spread of false and false news, according to a Reuters report on the 2018 digital news.
Nearly half of Turkey's population (49 per cent) said they faced "false news" in the week before the poll. In contrast, the percentage in Germany has not risen from 9 per cent.
The Reuters study says only 38 percent of Turks trust news in newspapers or on television.
"In a country like Turkey, it is difficult to distinguish between truth and fiction," said Mark Lewin, a BBC correspondent in Istanbul. "False information is used to attract more followers.
Turkey has a "conspiracy theory", where a high-level adviser to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that there is a conspiracy of the president's enemies to assassinate him using mental power remotely.
Many also consider that many television workers are "spies".
The BBC said that 90 percent of the media in Turkey are pro-government, noting that this country has the largest number of journalists prisoners, and it occupies No. 157 in the index of freedom of the press from 180 countries.
In 2016, a young Turkish journalist launched a website to verify the authenticity of the news on the Internet.
Over the past two years, the site has ranked 526 "false" stories, mostly political.
Journalist Mohammed Atakan Fuka said Tate.org was based on journalistic skills and digital technology to detect false stories, adding that the number was up to 30 stories a day.
