They seem brainless, people will just migrate to another app. Its natural response, people will exhibit humor and sarcasm at such difficult hour if not what else they will w**k on

Who determines who’s fake news is more fake, is there a Judge and jury to determine the ‘fakeness’ of the fakest ones?

However much I deplore 'fake news' for their ability to peddle misinformation, propaganda & extreme views that undermine democracy, this is yet another step towards eroding freedom of speech & liberty. Controlling what we're allowed to think & say is now also driven by business!
