Abstract	This research explores the consequences of online conformity in terms of how people respond to fake news. The study aims to see whether the readers of the misinformation are more inclined (a) to have a negative or positive opinion of fake news; (b) to support or oppose the fake news story by targeting the story itself or its author; and (c) spread a fake news story through social media. This study was conducted within a four-month period. The study employed an experimental research design, applying an inter-subject experimental design for three treatment groups. One group was exposed to a fake social media news post that was supported by positive comments from other users. The second group was shown the same fake social media news post, but this time, the comments with it exposed it as fake news. The third group was again shown the same post, but this time with comments that critically attacked both the fake news and its poster for promoting it. A total of 60 respondents were systematically sampled from 180 population, determined based on Raosoft (p=00.5), and a response distribution of 50%. Attitudes to the fake news story were assessed using three elements on a five-point Likert scale. The gathered data were analyzed using SPSS version 25.0. Results show that there was a greater tendency to intend to spread a fake news item when it is accompanied with comments that support the news article compared with comments that are critical of the content and optionally its author. Moreover, the research suggests that warnings from organizations about inaccurate news may not change people's attitudes or reduce their willingness to spread a piece of fake news as powerfully as reading the critical comments of other consumers.
