Last week, many people come to Ceuta. Ceuta is a Spanish city in North Africa. More than 72000 people cross the border from Morocco. Many people die there. Experts say: More than 140 people die.
False news on the internet start this wave. Apps like TikTok and Facebook show a lie. The lie says: The border to Europe is open. This is not true. Many people believe this lie.
The EU politician Henna Virkkunen criticizes the internet companies. She says: The companies do not do enough against false news. She wants more control. The EU wants to check social media strictly.
Journalists get criticism too. Some media show pictures of the wave. They do not explain the background well. Critics say: Media must check better. They must not make panic.
