Facebook, Twitter Join Network to Tackle Fake News
This short article from NBC News looks at how many large media organisations including Alphabet, Facebook and Instagram are planning to come together with many other groups and companies to help validate and verify real news stories. They actually plan to launch this system by the end of October. The programme aims to also remove malicious content, just like Twitter did itself by removing disturbing extremist propaganda.
I think this is a step in the right direction as the amount of users of social media sites increase its going to be hard to know what to trust, however we placing our trust within these organisations to say what we should and shouldn't trust, mistakes can be made on there end no matter how fool-proof there IT systems are.
