    No. No it's not comparable to those things at all. It's not even close.

      Am I the only one who is pretty darn relieved that, as bad as these problems are, Ax is nowhere near a position of decision-making for them? 😄

      Please love yourself.

        That is a big deal. I do understand that Facebook gets millions of articles a day and there is no human way possible that they can read/edit/review everyone of them.

        However, since alot of people relay on facebook as their source of information, it is their duty to be more accurate.

          The problem is "a lot of people rely on Facebook as their source of information." The proper solution is for these people to stop relying on Facebook as their source of information.

            And on this Ax and I agree wholeheartedly.

              People take the "path of least resistance", and in this case being on Facebook to check up on friends and seeing the news is the "easy" way.

              (Thought I have to admit that I do not have a Facebook account. When Facebook was becoming big, I was in a location that did not allow it, and even after that, never got an account).

                Facebook isn’t a source of information. It’s a place where links to sources of information are disseminated, and that is an important role in today’s world.

                I would think, however, that their algorithms and bots would have certain overriding directives to NOT tag links to trusted sites. I would like to think the BMJ would be one of those.

                But still, I can see that sliding past the bots… But the follow up explanation article? That’s ridiculous.

                As is the story of the sloppy trials.

                  I used to get mildly irritated by the inanity of people posting photos of their dinner on FB, along with stuff like 'look at me, I'm at the airport!', as though nobody else knows what one looks like.

                  These are now the best bits.

                  I was only joking
