The European Commission has appointed 39 experts to a new group tasked with reporting on fake news and online disinformation. The High Level Group comprises representatives of civil society, social media, online platforms, news media organizations and academia.
It will be expected to contribute to the development of an EU-level strategy on how to tackle fake news, above all identifying “effective actions to fight against the epidemic of false information and disinformation online while respecting the fundamental principles, said EC digital economy and society commissioner Mariya Gabriel.
The members were selected by EC experts from more than 300 applications, with Utrecht University professor Madeleine de Cock Buning nominated to chair the group. The first meeting will take place on 15 January, with the group expected to deliver a report which will feed into the Commission Communication on fake news and online disinformation planned for late April 2018.

Yea I agree that Facebook isn't really the place to find something credible, only how to know what your neighbors are doing and see how people having fun but actually are going into divorce.
But if it's only Facebook than I've got no issues here but I think it's the first step for what eventually will end up in places like this that will go down..

Online Disinformation" ? The truth you mean. Something the 'high level committees' struggle to bury or criminalize.
like, we put on referendums but actually destroy them after negative outcomes because those votes were all fake..
