The article itself is pretty lazy too, like it was a paid placement. It mentions "Digital Shadows" nine times.

- f055 8y agoIt could be very meta if it turned out that the story about fake news is fake itself ;)
- blinky1456 8y agoThe way theregister.co.uk works is that along with their own writers, anyone can submit articles. They pick whether to publish it it/edit then publish. Most news sites do this, even the biggest and most respected. But I think they get a larger amount of their content this way, and consequentially some of it can be a bit self-promoty.
- ryanlol 8y agoI'm pretty sure that John Leyden works for The Register. https://www.theregister.co.uk/Author/John-Leyden https://www.theregister.co.uk/Author/John-Leyden I could be wrong, but that seems exceedingly unlikely given the amount of stories he authors. Very much seems like either he or The Register got paid for this article.
