It's far too general. "Fake" mostly indicates an intended fault. "False" only indicates a general fault. By saying that this image is fake, we indicate that it's consciously false information that has been intentionally put in circulation. The word false, however, would in this case indicate that this image is just a mistake or fallacy.
