Don't Panic

On this episode, we focus on a single story: Facebook's relationship with the real (and not so real) news. Do they have a responsibility to tell users the difference between real news and fake news? Who decides what is real and what is fake? How can these sites make a filter that actually works? Join us as we make some progress on this difficult problem. \n \nhttp://dontpanic.io \nhttp://facebook.com/dontpanicshow Picks of the week: ACLU (Colby Rabideau) Whisper (Dan Miller) The Washington Post (Shaun Jennings)
