A man is under arrest in Utah after police say he posted on Facebook about "killing as many girls as I see" the same weekend that Women's Marches were held around the country. Jail documents filed by police in the city of Provo say 27-year-old Christopher W. Cleary wrote he was angry because he'd never had a girlfriend and wanted to "make it right" with a mass shooting. Cleary is from Denver and the documents say Colorado police contacted officers in Provo on Saturday, Jan. 19, 2019. (Utah County Jail via AP)

FILE - This Nov. 1, 2017 file photo shows prints of some of the Facebook ads linked to a Russian effort to disrupt the American political process and stir up tensions around divisive social issues, released by members of the U.S. House Intelligence committee, in Washington. According to a study published Wednesday, Jan. 9, 2019 in Science Advances, people over 65 and conservatives shared far more false information in 2016 on Facebook than others. Researchers say that for every piece of “fake news” shared by young adults or moderates or super liberals, senior citizens and very conservatives shared about 7 false items. Experts say seniors might not discern truth from fiction on social media as easily. They say sheer volume of pro-Trump false info may have skewed the sharing numbers to the right.
