Much has been made of social media spreading false news and now there is this. The statement in this story that grabbed me was this: “We want it down as much as anyone, for the family, and it maybe harmful to other kids. We contacted some of the sites. They asked if they had to take it down, and by law they don’t. " This was a 12-year-old and last weeks attack on the mentally disabled teen are shocking. Facebook is worried about fake news- what can we do to prevent this in the future?

Maj Marty Hogan This is terribly sad and shows how irresponsible the major social media sites actually are. Have you ever tried to call somebody at FaceBook with an issue. Good Luck!

My kids don't have facebook accounts. I also monitor their internet usage. They are better for it too.

If their friends have them do you make sure the friend's parents knows you don't want them perusing their friend's FB and would appreciate the parents not letting them go their friend's FB wall? Most parents do try to work together.. especially in the Military community..

I posted Malcolm X's chump speech on fakebook and it was removed. I left that censor-fest shortly after.
