Not all information on the Internet is true, but plenty of users fall victim to all sorts of hoaxes, more or less elaborate.

One of them comes from satirical website National Report, where an article states that some Americans have RFID (radio-frequency identification) chips implanted without their knowledge.

Including reference to a study conducted by scientists at the Wyoming Institute of Technology (WIT), the National Report piece is presented convincingly. However, the information on WIT is also of dubious nature and should be taken with a larger grain of salt, and pepper.

The mock-news is spreading through social networks, where it was appreciated with thousands of likes and shares, according to online sources, and claims that implanting US citizens with the RFID tracking occurs during dental work, but it can be done anywhere on the body.

The bogus information details that the purpose of the chips is to reveal “personal identities, including social security numbers, as well as medical records.”

Nothing in the news is true, as both National Report and the site of the Wyoming Institute of Technology are intended as satirical publications.

In this case, they poke fun at conspiracy theories referring to government actions for controlling the residents of a country.
