"... found Facebook to be the referrer site for untrustworthy news sources over 15% of the time." so the question emerges does Facebook actually fact check and how accurate is the fact check program. while all people should have access to all news they should also be informed if it is proven to be untrue which is what Facebook has attempted t do but has in certain aspects failed as they are the top referrer for untrustworthy sites. If the algorithm Facebook has developed had been 100% successful then it would be a wonderful tool for readers but there are definitely kinks that need to be worked out for that to happen.
