The co-creator of the popular Netflix series 'Adolescence', Jack Thorne, has hit back at a baseless conspiracy theory suggesting the show is based on a real crime committed by a Black child. This 'absurd' theory, which has been promoted by none other than Elon Musk, has sparked outrage and debate online. With the show's massive following and critical acclaim, it's no surprise that such misinformation has gained traction. However, Thorne's response aims to set the record straight, emphasizing the importance of fact-checking and responsible social media use in the age of online misinformation and fake news. Popular streaming platforms like Netflix often face such challenges.
