Facebook fake news: Zuckerberg details plans to combat problem
Facebook became mired controversy after some users complained fake news changed the outcome of the US election. The billionaire posted on Facebook details of several projects to "Take misinformation seriously". His remarks come less than a week after he responded to criticism of fake news on Facebook, saying over 99% of content on the site "Is authentic". Mr Zuckerberg said Facebook is currently working on seven proposals to combat misinformation more robustly including methods for stronger detection, verification, and providing warning labels on fake content. In the wake of the US presidential election results last week, many criticised Mr Zuckerberg, saying fake news on Facebook aided the rise of Donald Trump.
