fake news

Today, we deviate from the usual topics and have a look at some of the Internet’s other burning problems: namely social media, its influential power and how people are reacting to it. Last year was a defining year, as scandals about Fake News, the effect of the Filter Bubble and unmoderated Hate Speeches were unfortunately on the rise. A very strong and strict action against those (especially the Fake News and the Hate Speeches) were made by the German government, with a legalization that has been since nicknamed as the “Facebook law”, even though it also applies to other sites such as Twitter and YouTube.
