On behalf of Merkel-sponsored Russophobia, including threats of fines, Facebook rolls out fake-news filtering service to Germany.
“Germany is to become the first country outside the US to benefit from Facebook’s crackdown on fake news as the social media group tries to control the proliferation of media hoaxes ahead of elections in the country this year.
The world’s largest social network is bringing its test of fake news filtering tools to Germany in the coming weeks after the spread of false stories such as one claiming Germany’s oldest church was set on fire by a mob of 1,000 people.
German users of the social network will now be able to report a story as fake and it will be sent to Correctiv, a third-party fact checker.

Disputed stories will not be prioritised by the news feed algorithm and people will receive a warning if they decide to share it.”

So nothing from CNN, MSNBC then?
And it is actually lead by a former Stasi member.
It wasn’t fake news. They call it fake because there is another church a few years older, and because they set the scaffolding around it on fire, not the actual building.
That’s their standard of fake news.
Ehh, Germans, not very creative. I’ts been done before... by Goebbels.
Facebook is a tool of the Overlords. Believe it.
