Facebook needs to do more

They are now analyzing stories at a snail's pace and removing them or flagging them as fake news. I think they need to go further. I think any Facebook user who shares, likes, or reads a fake story should get a message that their story was fake. If they continue to share fake stories, Facebook should put a banner on their profile explaining that this user posts fraudulent news stories and any content they post should be viewed with suspicion. Shame can be a powerful motivator. Eventually, their account could be revoked.

Facebook should do a lot more, they are making $Billions, they have a responsibility to their consumers.
