Internet scare stories.

Scare stories and headlines like that are annoying, but, even the most ridiculous news outlets when you read the full article they end up not being anywhere near what the headline implies. They just want clicks, clicks = money, once you're there they can start downplaying the story a bit more later on in the article or be a bit more truthful but until then they just need you to click and fear or anger gets clicks more than something that sounds exciting or positive.

I do hope that the U.K. online safety laws will target stories like these rather than truthful stories
