"could use our high-speed communications network to vote directly on every law." How can we trust online voting? If you think bad foreign actors somehow control the election now, it will be much worse when it's all…
Why only mention pro-Trump fake news? I know plenty of people spreading fake Propaganda about Trump based on hearsay and false information. ...including links and comments on HN. Maybe HN needs to filter out the fake…
How about the story that Russian hackers were in talks with Trump? Even the evidence came down to an IP address from a Russian VPN. Anyone with the basics of technology knows that this doesn't mean that the person…
What if it's not the news that's false, but memes and public opinion? A friend's opinion is many more times effective than a random, fake, news article. Are we going to start silencing opinion, because it's not factual?…
"The larger problem for Trump and his supporters is that there is very little reason to think that any set of policies could meaningfully reverse the long-term decline in U.S. manufacturing jobs. That decline has been…
If FB and other sites truly want to ban 'fake news' sites, the majority of mainstream news organizations will be banned. There are so many stories, like this, that are based on fake information. I feel like…
I'm curious to see if this article will be tagged as 'fake news' on Facebook.
What about all of the fake Trump news? My friends on Facebook still think Trump is a rapist (he never raped anyone), Racist (I'm still not sure where this one came from), and homophobic (he is not reversing gay…

"Companies and governments need clear rules on when a hack counts as acceptable espionage or an act of aggression -- or an act of war." Rules? Russian and Chinese hackers aren't going to care about any rules of conduct.…
You are looking for an employee with the same temperament and grit that it takes to be a founder. The reason they are hard to find is because most aren't willing to be paid under market value for the small chance that…

"A man who had called for his political opponent, Hillary Clinton, to be jailed;" I've seen this statement before. Trump didn't call a random political opponent to be jailed. He called for a woman that committed a crime…
I don't buy it. They never broke it down to explain exactly how it's going to add 5.3 trillion to our national debt. I also don't think they included any potential offset of new businesses and tax revenue as a result of…
