    It took about 50 odd years to convince people that the connection between tobacco and cancer was "direct and provable" though, and even now I occasionally come across usually-quite cautious articles talking about how it's not quite as direct and provable as we all think.

    I could see it being feasible that you could hold FB liable for stuff in their newsfeed but people liable for stuff they post themselves in a private, or even public, group. I can't remember if groups appear in the newsfeed or not, I think there's a, like, separate group feed these days? It's...

    Well to begin with i'd ask our resident regulation expert @ann post if Ireland's newspapers regulations are any good? My understanding is that they are quite light touch, self regulating, and have led to the Denis O'Brien consortium of "Independent News & Media" leading with a far from...

    looks alright. I never heard of it, i'll be your friend on there. I know Jimmy Wales had some weird thing earlier this year where he compared ending private schooling to the holocaust but whatever, he's a tech guy so he's probably just being a libertarian. He seems to be your standard...

    in all honesty, i'd imagine this is true. The UNNAMED internet financial institution I used to work for had bits that were very much held together by sellotape. Even when there were big court cases and the like there'd be months of "does anyone have any idea how we're going to extract the data...

    My facebook ads are just super transparent "this is what you googled 10 minutes ago" or over 40's singles ads for some reason. (oh, and of course whoever has quite obviously paid $$$$$)

    they could use their billions to hire people to act as Snopes and check that stories being shared aren't just completely bogus? Open to abuse, sure, but do-able as well.
