Essay on Facebook Fake News

There is much more to take in from one of the latest reports that has been on the international memo that is being sent by the Facebook’s head of VR and the AR Andrew Bosworth in the regard of Facebook to influence the behavior of different voters along with societal shifts as well.

It has been said by the Boz that Facebook ads did influence upon the results back in the previous years and still different algorithm is also influencing upon the political factors in their support. There has been many noise upon the “FAKE NEWS” in the recent days, it also includes the ability to have an influence upon the different political processes. But from the recent times there have been some of the authorities that are fighting back.

Here it has been thought that it would be much beneficial for the introduction of new criminal offence of the algorithm manipulation to have a gain towards the political aspect.

Algorithm Manipulation: Different kind of the views based upon the different people living in a community, this also includes the political ones as well. They are being subjected for the manipulation in different ways. All of us get vulnerable particularly when such kind of the manipulation takes place online.

When a person gets online, it is not easy at all to know that why they see the specific content that has been served or shown. There are many things on the Facebook which we see are because of the search engines and then the social media completely gets driven through the algorithms and largely they are being hidden from the view.

Imagine here that any of the marketing company manipulates all such algorithms to dictate all of the search results in an artificial way, posts on the Facebook which are being shown are just in favor of the political party and to support them as well.

All such kind of the misleading and the manipulative commercial communication has already been regulated by the help of law. But here influencing all of the search results and the Facebook posts which are being seen can be to support a political person or the party.

Here all of this is simply astonishing because there are many things that are at stake in the aspect of politics as compared to the commercial arena.

Sensitive balancing: Any kind of the restriction upon any political activity is one of the most sensitive matter. It simply goes towards the heart of that democratic society. There is a need of creating such tool that can be easily used to repress any kind of the healthy political debate.

It has been also found out that cyberspace will become one of the most perfect tool of control. All of this seems to be one of the apt observation specifically when it has been placed in context of the manipulation related to the Algorithm to have a political gain. There are number of people who think it is much possible to fashion out the new offence which particularly applies towards all of the hidden manipulations of the Internet that confer the political gain in dishonest way but not doing any debate or the deterring free speech. According to the Bucher in 2012, there is no as such centralized inspector behind this Facebook application who is monitoring all such activities or behavior of everyone.
