Facebook is misleading us to some extent
Few months back one morning I opened my Facebook page and saw that Anisul Haque, the Dhaka north city corporation mayor has expired. Immediately I turned on my TV news channel and found that he is under treatment in a London hospital and fighting with neurological problem(dizziness and lack of balance). I read the Facebook news on Saturday(25th November) but actually he breathed his last at Bangladesh time 10:30pm on 30th, Thursday night at Wellington Hospital.

What does it men from above true storey? Either Facebook can predict the future or giving fake information to the users!!
This is an example only, everyday we are getting such forged information from this social media. Not only misguiding information but also some crime activities like question paper leaking, suicide activities, fatal attraction, blackmailing are happening through this media.

Many of us say that what can Facebook do over these activities? People have their own responsibilities or gut feeling about bad and good. If people do not post fake or unwanted information then users will not be able to see that.
My question is, why Facebook can not control this? Or are they willing to do this? Is there any authorities from Facebook who will be policing the activities?
Here, the classic example is Steemit. If anyone in Steemit doing something illegal, people can flag or down vote. So users/bloggers are careful here before posting anything.
No doubt that, Facebook has make our world like a village with it’s connecting power. But unwanted activities should be monitored religiously from the authorities rather looking into only profit.
Thanks for reading.
its important know the proper use of any social media. now a days people are using it in wrong way. problem is facebook selling our information, thais is huge information security threat. surely steemit can solve this problem.
Agree with you opinion. Thanks for the input.
There is trade off for everything. We are giving out our freedom ( in internet call data privacy) to enjoy connectivity with our dears in fb. Facebook is giving us free usage in exchange of our data to be sold to their customers. Now whom do we blame ? These fake news spurrs and all the bs of data mining is end result of greed . Dilema al around and i think decentralised token based social media is the answer.
Hope in near future decentralized token based social media will take place of Facebook slowly slowly. Thanks for your thoughts.
Logical! You will buy free and expect the maximum quality!!! Is it possible? There is no free launch!!
The user of Facebook want this types of fake news. Now-a-days most of the FB user are uneducated.
Education level of FB users varies country to country. But bound to confess that, FB is most convenient social media for uneducated / less educated.
Yes, completely agree.
Its not only fake but also full of violence in video content. Last two week I use facebook maximum 30 minutes. I hate this site. But we can use it for philanthropic activities. Now a days the facebook is a name of consternation.
Yes, rightly said.

Part of it is our own responsibility for believing Facebook instead of reputable news sources. Facebook was never meant to be a replacement for reading the newspaper or watching the news on TV. Facebook was a place to meet friends and trade gossip.
