Snowden: Stop Relying on Facebook for Your News
I have interacted with several people on Facebook who rely on fake news sources.<p>I pointed out fake news articles several times on one person&#x27;s Facebook page. She agreed the articles were not true.<p>However, she added &quot;I don&#x27;t have time to figure out if they&#x27;re true. People can read your comments.&quot;<p>I asked her what she thought of the fact that this particular article, which was blatantly false, was shared 16,000 times.<p>Her response:<p>&quot;That&#x27;s comforting.&quot;<p>I was shocked.<p>And yet, that is the reality we now live in. Many, many people are acting, and thinking, exactly like her.
