Not just news articles. I am sorry. Perhaps Ms Sweeney missed the nuance. I was referencing fake news, not specifically asking about it. I am referring to that sort of mimicry and the suggestion within a post on Facebook that the poster means something which they clearly do not, which is taken up as a negative and is therefore a form of bullying in itself. My question was about the sorts of resources Facebook is putting into developing algorithms, bots or human interaction to deal with such posts. Is it targeting the demographics? Is it actually looking at or focusing in on younger people in particular, given their vulnerabilities?
