How many #fake news they circulate on # Facebook everyday? Many, many, too many. The problem arose mainly after the victory of the Trump presidential election: according to some analysts, in fact, the false news or "hoaxes" circulating on Facebook would have favored the Republican candidate. Others say it's all nonsense, but the idea has now made its way into the minds of many.
Mark #Zuckerberg has decided to intervene personally, reassuring users on the issue: the social network takes the problem very seriously, and indeed wants to declare open war to hoaxes. For Mark there is still a lot, a lot to do: in a post he himself says that a detection system against disinformation is being worked on.
The problem is that users, bombarded with so much news, often no longer know what to believe. Zuckerberg explains that from now on a more careful vigilance will be implemented, thanks also to the use of technologies that will allow to recognize cases in which the users themselves catalog the news as a fake. We will be ourselves, in short, the "controllers": Facebook will only verify that those are really fake news. In short, we will all be more attentive and vigilant. Will it be enough? Just think of all the users who believe the news from Lercio and other satirical sites to be true….
