Fake news inquiry to review social networks' complaints procedures


A parliamentary inquiry into fake news is to consider legislation forcing social networks to improve the way they handle complaints after Facebook’s failure to remove sexualised images of children. His committee will examine whether new offences should be created to ensure social networks are held responsible for inappropriate content, including fake news as well as images of children which have been reported.

I do think that this is a good thing as complaints on social media sites usually go no where and rarely get dealt with. Facebook only dealt with 18/100 complaints when a BBC reporter flagged the images showing how complaints don't get dealt with and with no explanation.
