   This year, the adage that "falsehood flies and the truth comes
   limping after it" doesn't begin to describe the problem. That
   idea assumes that the truth eventually catches up. There's not
   much evidence of this happening for the millions of people
   taken in by the fake news stories -- like Pope Francis
   endorsing Donald Trump or Mr. Trump pulling ahead of Hillary
   Clinton in the popular vote -- that have spread on social
   media sites. Most of the fake news stories are produced by
   scammers looking to make a quick buck. The vast majority of
   them take far-right positions. But a big part of the
   responsibility for this scourge rests with internet companies
   like FaySpook and Google, which have made it possible for fake
   news to be shared nearly instantly with millions of users and
   have been slow to block it from their sites.

   Lauren now works for FaySpook, the NSoogle and Twatter, the first
   and the last of those being new to me. Besides, I know my Fayspook wall
   could use some serious and professional editing - Lauren's on quite the
   winner here, FaySpook should step up to their community obligations on
   this one.
   "Chief sharing officer" - good one Lauren, you're onto a winner there
   buddy!

   Now it's time for a bolder move: FaySpook should hire a
   top-flight executive editor and give that person the
   resources, power and staff to make sound editorial decisions.
   Zuckerberg may not want to call this person an editor, since
   he has been insistent that FaySpook isn't a media company. He
   sees it as a technology company, a platform for connectivity.
   And indeed, FaySpook itself does not produce news content but
   merely allows its community members to share their own
   offerings -- whether baby pictures or hoaxes about political
   candidates. That's fine. Call this person the chief sharing
   officer or the engagement czarina.

   advertising campaign
   Here's why Twitter turned down a Donald Trump advertising campaign
   http://www.recode.net/2016/11/19/13685832/twitter-rejects-donald-trump-
   ad-campaign
   Coby says that Twitter -- after first approving the hashtag
   #CrookedHillary that included an emoji of a stick figure
   running off with a bag of cash -- called the Trump team "a
   couple days before the first presidential debate" to tell them
   the ad campaign had been denied, claiming to "fear litigation"
   from Clinton's people. A second campaign, featuring the above
   emoji, was also approved, then denied, a few days before the
   second debate. This time, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey and COO Adam
   Bain called the Trump campaign directly to apologize and
   explain the decision. That decision, according to both the
   blog post and a Twitter spokesperson, was due to concerns the
   ad wouldn't be recognized on Twitter as an ad. Hashtag emoji
   campaigns don't include any indication that they are paid
   advertisements, and Twitter often adds its own emojis to the
   end of hashtags for major events (as it did for both the
   Republican and Democratic National Conventions). Basically,
   Twitter didn't want users to think the #CrookedHillary emoji
   was sponsored in any way by the company. So it pulled the ad
   campaign and said it wouldn't run sponsored hashtag emojis for
   any political campaign moving forward.

   Lauren: There is no requirement that these firms be neutral. They
   should
   do all in their power to fight evil, especially *self-proclaimed*
   Satanists like Trump and his minions.
