A Michigan man's viral Zoom court hearing story, where it seemed he drove with a suspended license, swept the internet but was later revealed to be based on a falsehood. The man's license had been reinstated years prior, and the suspension was due to a clerical error. Despite the story attracting national media attention, it highlights how social media virality does not always equate to newsworthiness, with outlets often prioritizing clicks over accuracy, impacting individuals like the man in the story.
