Facebook is having
an issue that there is a loophole for people to get around its strategy to
prevent them from creating fake news. This is a major issue all over media that
is creating controversy between all of its' users. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg,
has a lot of work to do with his company in solving this problem because it is
allowing people to change the headline of various news stories to make them
fake and unreliable. This is going to cause Facebook users to stop believing
the news they see on Facebook and possibly even quit using it.
At first, Facebook
was created to be a social platform for college students to connect through the
internet. This new platform took the attention of millennials from myspace and
brought them to connect with one another on Facebook. It became very popular
very fast. It is a great way to keep in touch with people you meet but didn’t
just solely stick to that purpose. Facebook grew rapidly over time and formed
into being used for many social platforms which allow for a variety of options.
It began to open a lot of doors for the Gen X crowd to post opinions
and keep up with news pages. Therefore, a lot of generations are relying on Facebook
for information that is occurring on a daily bases through reposts of news outlets.
This is why it is so
important for Facebook to take action fast and fix this issue immediately
because it is causing its' audience to be very upset that they are being given
false information through people changing these preview links. I think it is
also important that Facebook does a better job at addressing the complaints
that the users are making about this issue. The example showed in this article
of the support ticket being promptly closed shows that they are not taking
initiative on important issues that are affecting their company. Being such a
big media platform they are always going to have minor issues that arise, but
with the amount of money they are making, it is critical they use it on hiring
people that will take care of cases like this one in a prompt manner.
