NDM: Fake news

Facebook and Twitter join network to tackle face news

This article states they have done this to improve the quality of information on social media and news as a whole. Facebook has been criticised of its role of stopping fake news and misinformation from spreading on its network. They want to stop people from creating moral panics which is affecting ideologies and values which can be dangerous. Twitter were swift to remove Islamic extremist's tweets about terrorist attacks. 

I believe this is important as too many people are gullible when using the internet. These networks have done the right thing to control some of the things that people post on the internet.
