Facebook's 'fake news' highlights need for social media revamp, experts say



By James Rogers
·Published November 11, 2016
· FoxNews.com

Facebook’s struggles with ‘fake news’ underscore the urgent need for a new social media legal framework, experts warn.

“It’s an enormous problem,” Keith Altman, a lawyer at 1-800 Law Firm, told FoxNews.com. “It’s the distribution, the infrastructure of these sites that allow the misinformation to be disseminated.”

Earlier this week Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg defended the social media network’s news algorithm against allegations that the company allowed ‘fake news’ to tilt the election.

The biggest threat with Propoganda on social media, in my opinion, Imthink can be explained best by the Asch Conformity Experiment:

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=NyDDyT1lDhA

I think this video when considered in conjunction with and relationship to social media explains a few things:

1) It explains the power of social/community influence. People will overwhelmingly and knowingly be wrong, in order to belong.

2) Trump won, despite overwhelmingly opposing opinions on traditional mass media, because voters are able to vote anonymously.

I know I was bombarded with messaging in my private professional social circles where an opposing public viewpoint to Hillary Clinton would have been viewed as nothing short of treason.

Voicing opposition would have been achieved or gained absolutely nothing in the short term. Better to observe and collect than disclose.

Facebook and Google run the risk of being regulated as mass media outlets for equal/fair time and coverage.

Have a look at the top individuals with followings on Facebook, twitter, and Instagram. And their political involvement.

At what stage do they become mass media outlets?

I'm all about freedom, especially of the internet.

But would some very simply and carefully crafted regulation on political messaging be worth consideration?

The LAST thing you need is government legislating what is or isn't "fake news". Want to hurt facebook? Stop using it.

LOL, you really think all the facebook narcissists would just quit using facebook? You'd get better results asking a heroin addict to stop. facebook is like your own "reality" show where you are the "star" and the "lemmings" love it.

ETA: speaking of Goebbels - the Hitler rant meme is getting old but still a great platform - the video at link below will really make the cry babies wet their panties.

Lol, Hitler learns Trump won the election!

Even funnier. (Actually slightly scary because he "gets it".) Warning - not for the faint of heart. Definitely NSFW if you have the volume turned up. http://www.selfreliancecentral.com/2...12SRCDBMEDKIT1

A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.

It is a great video, however, what HE hasn't realized yet, is that the left can't win the arguments. I don't know this guy or his views but the left doesn't argue their points because they can't win the argument. Oh yeah, on the surface.... guns should be banned because people die.... health care for all is a good thing.... abortion is about a women's right to her body..... etc. but after the surface argument, the deeper you go, the less they understand or care to argue until they are left with.... YOU RACIST/MYSOGONIST/CLIMATE DENIER/HOMOPHOBE!!!!

Nailed it. Free stuff for everyone sounds great in theory...until reality and human nature kick in.

The Left (aside from the Soros/Klinton types) are basically dreamers not realists.

They also have a nasty habit of demanding that government impose their view on everyone...lord knows they know better.

He's a character in satirical skits:

Quote:
Who is Jonathan Pie?
Jonathan Pie is the brainchild of comedian and actor, Tom Walker. He's a potty-mouthed, highly quotable parody of a journalist who can often be found outside Westminster bemoaning current affairs. His aim is to deliver 'news - told the way it should be'. In an interview with RT, Walker explains that in mainstream news, 'there is quite often an agenda rather than just telling the news, telling facts' - Jonathan Pie is his answer to this.

Who's Tom Walker?
Tom Walker is an actor living in London. He graduated from Drama School in 2000, doesn't have a political background, and never intended to be a satirist - according to Walker, 'Jonathan Pie was just an idea I've had in my head for years'. The catalyst came when Jeremy Corbyn was elected - Walker was furious at the way in which the press 'pounced on him [Corbyn] with ... blatant fucking lies'.
