The top free news aggregation app in the U.S., NewsBreak, has come under scrutiny for repeatedly spreading false content. The app, with Chinese ties, was reported to have published inaccurate news multiple times, including a fabricated story about a shooting incident. Despite claims from NewsBreak that inaccurate content comes from providers, concerns have been raised over the app's AI-generated reports, with former employees revealing most of the algorithm work is done in China, sparking worries about ties to hostile foreign governments. NewsBreak has denied any such connections and emphasized its status as a U.S. company, though its relationship with Chinese investors and engineers remains a subject of concern.
