‘What we’re hoping to hear from Facebook at F8’ – Mashable
Karissa Bell says, “It’s that time of year again. Facebook is gearing up for its biggest event of the year.
The company’s F8 developer conference is set to kick off Tuesday and there will likely be no shortage of news coming out of the two-day event.
While the only real certainty is that there will be at least a few surprises in store, there are a few topics we’re rooting for Zuckerberg and other Facebook execs tackle.
How’s that fight against fake news going?
Last year, Zuckerberg used the F8 stage to deliver a pretty righteous burn to Donald Trump. A lot has changed since then, though. Zuckerberg’s been forced to adopt a more measured tone and Facebook has found itself embroiled in a fake news controversy that just won’t go away. So we’d love nothing more than for Zuckerberg to use his keynote to address the issue head-on.
He probably won’t. F8 is an event typically reserved for developer news, vanity stats and a look at new research and technologies — you know, happy feel-good updates. And, despite recent updates meant to combat the issue, Facebook’s fake news problem is none of those things”.
