The Chinese-language daily has reported the issue to Meta.
SINGAPORE – Fake news reports featuring local actress Xiang Yun have surfaced on social media platforms Facebook and Instagram, prompting Chinese-language daily Lianhe Zaobao to report the issue to Meta.
Clicking on the post redirects users to a fake Zaobao website, with an article in Chinese about fans demanding the release of the actress, following a controversial interview. On May 31, another netizen encountered a sponsored Instagram story showing a fake Zaobao report which falsely claimed that the actress had accidentally revealed a secret on live television, and police officers were searching her house.
“I want to let readers know that these reports are not true, and I hope everyone can distinguish between what is true and what is not,” said the 62-year-old.
