TITLE: Getting Information from reliable sources.

 

What do you think is it all about?

   

      - How Social Media platform handle the misinformation giving to the public.

 

Quote

 

     -  As long as there is economic incentive to fabricate sensational stories, the plague of fake news will continue.

 

 

Reflection:

 

        Well, I think it would be unfair that Facebook is 100 percent responsible of this incident, they should not take all the blame for this. People who published the false article is one of the issue i understand why they do fake news because it sell, people would find it entertaining if the news is dramatic so they will click on the article they get users who watching their work and maybe they earn from ads revenue something like that, if they are not doing it for the money then their intention would be trying to manipulate people, like in this article it talks how Facebook influence and interfered with the presidential election on 2016, not only the people who publish the article is responsible for this but also people who are easily being manipulated. People should always ask themselves how reliable is this information you are getting, think twice before believing on something.
