...Facebook.

This is what my friends are looking for. It seems Facebook is still a good use for some people. For me, it is really not a reliable source of information now. Do you think the owner needs to filter the information shared here? Image Credit: upload.wikimedia.org

Yes...it really needs that feature. Anything stupid can easily get uploaded there and end up circulating well

At some point, it can put people's lives in danger, too.

It all depends on what kind of information you're looking for.

To some extent, we need to consider what information that are essential for us.

I never used facebook as a source of information, except for information on who my friends are dating etc. I've never considered it as a news source of any kind really. It's good for organising things, finding out when the next farmers market is and checking out your friends photos.

@Shavkat I've got friends like that too, I've put some of them on hid and only check what they post if I'm going to their page.

@Torunn If I am very close to them, I usually call their attention about it.

I do agree with you. Some of my friends are irresponsible in posting some fake news. I had encountered them before.

@MisisAmparo I also check some jobs online here. I found two part-time jobs here before. Recently, I am hunting at least one or two again.

@Shavkat I used facebook. It helps with my previous work too. Just get the news on a legitimate news agency only.

I don't know how the owner would filter the truth from fiction. That might also be considered censorship, not sure. Take care!

I am not also sure if the owner will consider the idea.

It's like a form of digital gossip. The information is very unreliable.

Facebook is not the right place to get authentic information. It's OK for sharing social photos and articles.

For me, connecting with friends is good. Looking for essential information is not that reliable.
