I'm in complete agreement that the bigger problem is the lynchings and mobs. These happen without phones and fake news, and blaming it entirely on phones and fake news ignores the bigger issue. That said, I think fake news is a lesser issue that still needs addressed. I very highly doubt it will be stopped completely, but I do think the world could do a much better job of educating its citizens along with having competent police forces that respond adequately and investigate such rumors and fake news. Between education and gaining trust from the people, I think these will lessen the effect. Weirdly, some of this stuff might help stop the mobs as well, but maybe not.
