Some people posted fake content on Facebook? And that is responsible for the election of Trump and Brexit? If you actually believe that there's some pop up internet ads I have ready for you...
- Veen 9y agoNot so long ago, Zuckerberg said it was "crazy" to think that Facebook influenced the US election. I don't think he's quite so confident of that today.
- darepublic 9y agoZuck could be "persuaded" of anything I'm sure to placate the scapegoating whiners of the western world. The thing is if you're vacuous enough to invest a lot of yourself on fb you are equally vacuous to join the pitchfork mobs at the prompting of mass media.

- alistairSH 9y agoResponsible on it's own? Likely not. A contributing factor? I believe the jury is still out. Either way, the simple existence of the tools to do so (via social media and data-crunching groups like CA) should be investigated. And governments rightly should take action to ensure "fake news" is not being used to subvert their elections.
