Some of this technology is new and awareness among the general public is quite low. Give it some more time and people will just ignore most of this stuff (and probably leave facebook also). Give it 2-5 years and my guess is that this fad of deriving news from social media will go away.
- marktangotango 9y agoPersonally I've started to view facebooks feed (and others) as being indistinguishable from tabloids, like the National Enquirer here in the states. Grandmother gives birth to triplets! Honeymooners abducted by aliens! What I read there is not to be trusted, it's not a reliable source. Same goes for yahoo, msn, etc. Local news is a little better, but still sensational and salacious. If I want news online I go to Bloomberg, bbc, etc.
- the_common_man 9y agoYou said it much better than I did :-) People will understand over time this is tabloid news.
