Google and Facebook should be regulated for news content, UK government report
Just today I noticed &quot;<i>The Most Popular Health Articles of 2018, a Scientific Credibility Review</i>&quot;:<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;healthfeedback.org&#x2F;the-most-popular-health-articles-of-2018-a-scientific-credibility-review&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;healthfeedback.org&#x2F;the-most-popular-health-articles-o...</a><p>Many articles from otherwise reputable sources are not credible, or accurate or are simply false. Journalists no longer do any fact checking. Sensationalism is more important than reputation.<p>So on to the idea that Google and Facebook should be regulated, I think it&#x27;s an absolutely horrible idea. We are talking of censorship conducted by the government, the worst kind there is. And thinking of our own government, I can&#x27;t think of people that are more corrupt or incompetent.<p>Just fucking educate people on fact checking and elementary logic. Push for some lessons in high-school or whatever.
