The technology boss said firms such as his own needed to create tools that would help stem the spread of falsehoods, without impinging on freedom of speech.Cook also called for governments to lead information campaigns to crack down on fake news in an interview with a British national newspaper. This has come about after political parties on all sides have been using false information for their own gain.
I think that all the big companies are just talking about what needs to be done and not doing anything. There has only just been acknowledgement of false news, when in fact it is not a new issue. Rather than just commenting on what needs to be done the people in charge need to start doing something especially now where fake news was a main factor in the EU referendum and the US presidential election.
