Google to run ads “educating” users about “fake news”

• gruberjl 4y ago
  Well it's a start but what about not showing fake news in the first place? Or blocking ads from sites that post fake news?

    They can't stop showing fake news because they can't detect it algorithmically and have no interest in building a massive human organization to fact-check manually. All US platforms are also scared of aggressively moderating their platforms because it can be used to argue that they should lose Section 230 or DMCA protections.

    Because I don't trust a faceless megacorporation with adjudicating the truth or falsehood of all speech

  Whose "fake news" are we talking here? I mean, Trump called anything he didn't like "fake news", whether the information in question was true or not. So is "fake news" false information or information Trump doesn't like?

    > Whose "fake news" are we talking here? Pretty clearly, it's the definition of those running the social media giants and the mass media that applies.
