The network of more than 30 news and technology companies also includes CNN and Buzzfeed.
Facebook and Twitter have joined a network of over 30 news and technology companies to tackle fake news and improve the quality of information on social media, the group said on Tuesday.
First Draft Coalition, formed in June 2015 with the backing of Alphabet’s Google GOOG -1.21% , said it would create a voluntary code of practice, promote news literacy among social media users, and launch a platform where members can verify questionable news stories.
The platform will be launched by the end of October, Jenni Sargent, managing director of the coalition, said in an email.

Facebook, Twitter Join Network to Tackle Censor Fake Conservative/Anti-Liberal News
And there it is.
Wait a minute....cnn IS fake news.
There really are fake news sites. These post fraudelent stories with click bait titles. Some actively lie to conservatives to make us look stupid.
Big Brother - world-wide
You’re right but do we want the NT Times, WAPO and CNN to be the arbiters of “Truth”?
It's a small price to pay for not having self-appointed guardians judging what's "real news" and shutting down whatever doesn't fit their definition.
Well, NOW CNN will be able to tell you, NO, they’re not fake, trust us, we’re the “truth” patrol.
Notice how whenever there is ‘progressive’ stories there will never be an area to comment?
I guess they are tired of being ROASTED in their own web space.
The Ministry of Propaganda
Facebook and Twitter CREATE and SPREAD fake news!! They also highlight the lies and propaganda of lowlife journos and editorialists like the worthless New York Times’ Charles Blow!!!!
HELL NO.
Fake News = News that doesn’t fit the Democrat narrative.
But the people and websites such as FB who want to do the determining as to what is “real news” sites are the same people who are censoring conservative news on their sites...
This time loud and proud.
Will there be fines by the government for posting non-complying news?
More liberal insanity. What next??? Expect anything to try and defraud the ignorant and the stupid.
Enough of this ‘teaming up’ to be the arbiters of ‘news’. We are adults. We have an internet that can check things for ourselves. Like when CBS edits out unfortunate words from a Bill Clinton interview. We don’t need the guardians anymore.
CENSORSHIP by any other name...would stink as bad.
