Grossmont College Misinformation and Fake News Discussion

0 comments

Part 1 : Social media in particular, has done some things to help combat the spread of fake news, but do you think it is enough? You can review Facebook’s Fact Check information here: https://www.facebook.com/journalismproject/programs/third-party-fact-checking/how-it-works (Links to an external site.) Do you think they should do more? Who should be responsible for fact checking social media, the news, other sources?

Part 2: What regulations do you think companies like Twitter, Facebook, Youtube should incorporate to block the spread of misinformation? Or if you think they are already doing enough, why? For example, should political memes on facebook be fact checked before they are posted? Should posts be limited by region? Should there be restrictions on reposting posts or meme’s etc? 

Part 3 : Find a meme, tweet, post, that is true, and find the opposite that is false. Then fact check it and include the sources you used to fact check.
