Is Facebook doing enough to stop the spread of fake news?

It doesn't seem to me that a good Facebook is a fundamental part of the problem, not the platform as such, but with the people who use the platform.

The problem with Facebook being a private company is that it has its own interests, that is, the news can be controlled and people can be censored without problems, so we are facing the same problem, which is that the journalist does not matter, but the medium that censors him or forces him.

One of the safest sites to communicate and obtain information is Twitter, although we still do not know what will happen to this social network in the future, I feel that it was the one that had the least influence on the development of fake news, in the case of Facebook I feel that it is more it's part of the problem.

Until a serious regulatory body for the news is created that does not obey interests and is basically immune to political pressure, we will not see 100% real news again, we have vices in all sectors that provide news and it is already so normal that no one is objective.

Not rather a Facebook is the main problem because even if it controls the news that comes out, sometimes it shows that it only controls the ones that they really don't want to go out.

I hope this nostalgia goes away soon.
