A person who is too credulous and just believes everything they see on the internet.
Stupid credulants, clogging up Facebook with all their hoaxes and virus warnings and stuff. Why don't they just think for a bit first?
readiness to trust or believe especially on unsubstantial evidence

Easily believing the words of someone, even when they're lying or exaggerating.
Leading to misconception of this person, especially if there's no emotional attachment to them. Often later finding out they aren't as truthful as you first thought.
Credulous :(

Complete and utter reliance on and trust in Internet research and online content; a tendency to believe everything read on the Web or seen posted, tweeted or pinned on Facebook or Twitter and the like; unquestioning belief in every story, legend, or dire warning that shows up on the web or in one's inbox
"Web credulity of generation Z"
"But I had more web credulity in those days than I have got now."
