| Germany thinking of fining Facebook for each fake news story The German government is thinking of slapping a huge fine on Facebook for each fake news story it publishes. For those who came in late, fake news is the latest thing. It is news which is sometimes called “satire” in the US by people who don’t know what satire is. It is normaly conspiracy laden rubbish which no sane person would believe and is tailored to repeat things that people want to believe. It was considered a factor in the election of the Russian-backed Donald (prince of Orange) Trump in the US. http://www.techeye.net/news/germany-...ake-news-story |
