Lately, on Facebook there has been fake news stories posted on the site about the election of Donald Trump. Facebook has emerged in some circles as a scapegoat of choice. A chorus of voices, saying that false news stories shared on the platform helped sway the election, has caused CEO Mark Zuckerberg to go to conference with world leaders. This Saturday, Mark Zuckerberg had to urge the leaders at the Peru conference to help get more people online. He says, "That getting more people will improve global living standards”. This will help cut down on the face news on the social media platform. Zuckerberg is trying to work with leaders to help close that gap. The “gap” is the percentage of the world that is derived of the economic advantages that science, education and medicine can bring to them.

"If we can connect the 4 billion people who aren't connected, we can lift hundreds of millions of people out of poverty," Zuckerberg said as he addressed business and government leaders at the 21-nation Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Forum.

One of the down sides to Facebook is how rapid bogus news can be posted all over the world of social networking. The company is trying to curb the percentage of the false stories which is being developed as tools on both the mobile and desktop versions of Facebook. The tools will consist of a way to delete and classify if the story is misinformation making it easier for users to report it. The company might be forming an organization that will evaluate the content and place warning labels on the content that are flagged as false.

The company said on Monday that it was clarifying its advertising policy to emphasize that it won't display ads — thus cutting revenue — for sites that run information that is "illegal, misleading or deceptive, which includes fake news."
