It's time for startup to develop a Chrome Extension to detect fake news on Facebook.
- peterkshultz 10y agoI've thought the same thing, but the people interested in using such an extension would get their news from places other than Facebook. Self-selection bias greatly reduces the efficacy of such an extension.
- renaudg 10y agoThey could get their news from Facebook too, they would just more likely subscribe to more reputable pages and have less hoax-sharing friends.
- mmariani 10y agoThen they would claim that reputable sources too are biased against their beliefs and they'll come up with their reputable sources. Paranoia is some people nurse and profit from—unfortunately.
- amelius 10y agoI think it is time for Facebook to develop the "thumb down" button, or some other way to flag fake news.
