Fake news inquiry to review social networks' complaints procedures
https://www.theguardian.com/media/2017/mar/08/fake-news-inquiry-social-networks-complaints-policy-facebook
This article talks about A parliamentary inquiry into fake news is to consider legislation forcing social networks to improve the way they handle complaints after Facebook’s failure to remove sexualised images of children.
I believe that this is overdue as fake news isn't a new concept and its surprising that it has taken these companies so long to realise that it is a big deal and affects lots of people. The report button on social media is seen by many as a useless tool as rarely are they taken seriously but i agree that more needs to be done to take images like those mentioned in the article off of social media.
