Summary | With so much information online lies exist and prosper alongside facts. It is difficult to tell them apart so maybe the computers should be in charge of marking facts green and non-facts red. People would not trust them even if they did. Fake news and lies feed hate online on social media.

Summary | Facebook is hiring thousands of people to check their platform for offensive content. Artificial intelligence and algorhythms have proven to be incapable of dealing with all nuances of human communication. They were not able to reliably identify cyberbullying content and fake news. Facebook is admitting the boundaries of technological possibilities and now hiring humans to do the job.
