Stephen Fry: Facebook and other platforms should be classed as publishers | Technology | The Guardian
Stephen Fry has called for Facebook and other aggregating news agencies to be reclassified as publishers in order to stop fake news and online abuse spreading by making social media subject to the same legal responsibilities as traditional news websites.Outlining his reformation for the internet, as part of the Hay literary festivals programme to mark the quincentenary of Martin Luthers Ninety-five Theses in 1517, Fry accused social media platforms of refusing to take responsibility for those dangerous, defamatory, inflammatory and fake items whose effects will have legal consequences for traditional printed or broadcast media, but whoch they can escape.
