Misinformation and the Speeches and Public Speakers

Essay Instructions:

Question #1
For our first discussion, I wanted to go back over some of the discussion points around identifying and separating 'good' research information from misinformation.
Relevant articles:

Did they rely on any visual material, handouts, slideshows, etc?

While Facebook has taken radical measures since the German court ruled its use of personal information illegal, Big Tech companies should do more to safeguard users’ data and avoid fake news as both a civic and moral imperative. The companies should ensure the creation of accurate information and avoid users from benefiting from disinformation. Holding Tech giants responsible through legal proceedings and imposing fines would hold the companies accountable. However, mitigation of fake news is not only a responsibility of these companies but a public duty. For tech companies, they must have stronger...
