Summary
Donald Trump has won in the American presidential election. Some people say that the false information shown on the newsfeed of Facebook had a huge effect on this result.
Zuckerberg said the idea that false news on Facebook influenced election is very crazy.
But he allowed false information had been shown on Facebook. Although Zuckerberg did not say how quickly the measures which detect incorrect news would be in place, he said that Facebook is making effort to improvement.
My opinion
Following the U.S. presidential election, I realized the power of media because Trump have gained public support through some media.
Today, we can easily post anything on the SNS. We always get various information in Facebook, Twitter, and so on. But it is difficult to judge whether the news are true.
Facebook should take effective measures against fake news as soon as possible because all informations have a possibility to have big influence. But it will be impossible to exclude all false information from the Facebook, so we must have media literacy. I think criticizing Facebook is irrelevance in this case. The people who couldn’t find out wrong information should be blamed.
