they are partly distribution mechanism but a lot has to do with the users. these site that promote fake stories would not exist. mark zuckerberg came out with a new blog post where he says we are taking this seriously. we know misinformation sa problem. we ll try to do a lot of things about it. he says facebook will try to do a lot of things to down play fake news and people s timelines. the reality is that this will always be an issue from here on out. there will always be new types of distorted news. as the other guest was saying, there are a lot of other websites that are not fake but are highly misleading. the onus is on the users to be a lot more aware of what they re consuming. the pope one is a great one.
