This morning we are taking a zuckerberg is coming under fire for not doing enough to police the fake news. Nbcs Miguel Almaguer reports how some feel this had an impact on the election. Reporter the headlines are as shocking as they are fake. Isis oil king paid off Hillary Clinton. Pope francis endorses trump. Now growing concern these fake stories may have had real influence on voters. Google announced its taking steps to ban fa facebook clarified it already prohibits them, adding our team will continue to closely vet all prospective publishers and monitor existing ones. But just days ago, Ceo Mark Zuckerberg said he didnt want the company to become the arbiter of truth, and downplayed the influence of fake news. The idea that fake news on influenced the election in any way i think is a pretty crazy idea. Theres a lot of skepticism among facebook employees that the top sort of echelon of the company are taking this seriously. Reporter now buzzfeed, partially owned by our parent company, nbc universal, is reporting the existence of a secret renegade task force of facebook employees. Buzzfeed spoke to five of them. They believe the company is only paying lip service to the when you mark something for nudity or violence, its taken down almost immediately.

That was Miguel Almaguer reporting. Twitter is cracking down on hate speech. The social Media Associated with a White Nationalism movement. Richard spencers account was among those suspended. Spencer runs an altright think tank which is part of the loosely organized movement that wants to create a white ethno state. One in six, thats the number of teenage girls in the u. S. Who will suffer with depression this year alone. According to a new study, thats a 30 increase over the last more on the increase in depression in girls. Are we seeing it in everyone or just teenage girls . Let me say that this study was a governmentfunded study where they looked at 350,000 teenagers and young adults 12 to 25 and they tracked them from 2004 to 2014. So this data is from research thats most recently from 2014. And they were asking questions that would be consistent with those that you would ask somebody if you werein depressed. And thats how they came up with these numbers. The most significant increase really has been from 2011 to 2014. Thats where you saw this 30 increase. So this is actually a relatively recent bump in the percentage of kids who were experiencing depression. Now, the bump for girls was much more significant than the bump that was seen for boys. Any reason behind that or you as a practitioner, could you guess at what this might be . I think that with girls experiencing much more depression than boys, the factors that i think contributing here have to do with a few things. Number one, women in general are twice as likely to experience a major depressive episode than men. Its felt that in part thats because of hormones. So when youre a teenage girl, youre having the hormonal changes, youre having menstrual cycles, thats going to cause emotional challenges. As well we have more girls having issues related to body image thanu the final piece is that studies have suggested that girls are more often the victims of cyberbullying. I was going to ask you about that. Than boys. I actually see that in my practice as well, where im seeing girls coming in and theyre more often coming in saying they have been ostracized and rumors are being spread about them. Im hearing that more from girls than i am from boys. Now, do you also hear that other girls are generally the perpetrators . Absolutely. Most of the time its girls against girls, yes. Its just part of the social media. Yeah, this is the Million Dollar question, what do you do about that. I think you have to limit social media exposure, if thats even possible. We all know how hard that is. And what i found really to be the most effective thing is for kids, particularly these girls who are the victims of cyberbullying, for a while you just have to remove them from these social media platforms to give them a chance to breathe and take a break from it. How hard is that for a parent thats hard for the kid, its hard for the parent, but unfortunately that may be the best we have right now. Obviously the goal is to educate kids about this, make sure parents are aware of whats going on, make sure schools are doing something about this. This is obviously a big issue. What should a parent look for, if theyre concerned that their daughter might be depressed . What are some of the signs . You know, sometimes parents can tell, but sometimes they cant. You might think that your child so obviously the key is your relationship. You want to have a good, open relationship from the time that child is young so that way as they get older and into their teen years, theyre going to be more comfortable sharing with you how theyre actually feeling. But the big things youre going to be looking for are things like sad mood, iritability, social withdrawal. Sounds like all teenage girls. Thats the problem. Thats the problem with psychiatry in general. Everything we see in psychi some emotional challenges, but obviously if its to the point where youre suicidal or selfinjuring, thats when clearly theres something that needs to be done. And i think you put a good point there that teachers should also be looking for this in the schools. I think they see a lot more of our kids than we do. Absolutely. I think the teachers and Guidance Counselors are the first line of defense. If you have concerns as a parent, you can always go to the advice. What an amazing study. Im sorry to hear that weve got girls so depressed and with those numbers rising. I know, i know, but hopefully we can talk about it and make a dent in this over time. Okay. Thank you. Always good to see you. My pleasure. Back to you. Up next, get ready to enjoy mild, dry weather for the rest of the week. But tom says changes arrive this weekend.

And did you know its National Fast food day . A lot of fast food restaurants are offing deals to celebrate. Head to my Facebook Page and tell us about your goto fast richard and Mildred Loving helped break barriers for interracial couples. Less than 50 years ago it was illegal in 16 states for a white person to marry someone of a different race. And while the lovings didnt want the attention or the fame, they helped shake up those laws. I spoke to their attorney about how he helped them fight for their right to marry. Is that the real couple . The story was told in magazines, newspapers, books. Its the story of the loving family and their fight to love and live together in the place they were born, virginia. On the big screen now, it tells the story of richard and Mildred Loving. Would you marry me . This is a love story. Its a story of love and of the law.
