"Giggle News" can be defined as a playful and humorous term used to refer to misinformation or dubious content that people receive, often in the form of emails, messages, or physical mail, and mistakenly believe to be true or credible information. It highlights the idea that the information is so implausible or unreliable that it elicits a sense of amusement or laughter rather than trust.
