Fake News and Facebook


In today’s world, we are surrounded by tons of applications and websites that allow us to post almost anything we desire. When we have this kind of freedom, we should be burdened with the responsibility of posting with educated responses and civility, but we are not. It is quite common for misinformation to be posted and make the rounds in the media. Facebook is currently working to combat this, because according to them “fighting misinformation is a top priority”. They have people fact-checking their posts, but it isn’t nearly enough and “they might as well be sifting grains of sand from a toxic beach”. [1 image, 1 link, 2 quotations, 104 words]
