Facebook doesn't need to ban fake news to fight it

Mark Zuckerberg’s social media site doesn’t have to become a censor to
help tackle false stories. It can do a lot by helping its own users with
context
Zuckerberg’s message was slightly undercut for some users by the fact that it was accompanied by adverts for fake news. Ev Williams, the co-founder of Twitter, Blogger and Medium, posted his own example a few days later:
links, claiming to be from ESPN and CNN, to stories that implying that
Tiger Woods had died and Donald Trump had been “disqualified”, right
next to the Facebook chief executive’s post.
I believe that audiences should always be lively
in terms of what they read and share, we should all check twice if the
information is real by going on other sources and seeing if similar
information has been said.
