The US President Barack Obama further also added that “If everything seems to be the same and no distinctions are made, then we won’t know what to protect”. However, the American private Internet media company based in New York City well-known as Buzzfeed who describes itself as a “social news and entertainment company” found that top-performing fake news performed much better on the social network Facebook than the actual stories shared by the popular media websites during the US presidential election campaign. Hence, the authorities have accused the social media giant Facebook for turning the US-presidential election campaign in favor of President-elect Donald Trump simply by spreading the fake news and stories regarding the political affairs. The CEO of the social media giant Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg had refused that the social media giant Facebook played a role in spreading the fake news and stories titled this idea “crazy idea”. To lessen the criticism, the social media giant Facebook decided to ban all websites that posts fake news and stories from using its advertising network to make money. Moreover, the US President Barack Obama told to the New Yorker editor, David Remnick that “The capacity to disseminate misinformation, wild conspiracy theories, to paint the opposition in wildly negative light without any rebuttal, that has accelerated in ways that much more sharply polarise the electorate and make it very difficult to have a common conversation”.
