Facebook standard could stop abuses

We are now hearing that millions of Facebook followers 

received email believed to be sourced by Russia.  If this

is true, Facebook has no control of its service and needs

to curb such actions, immediately.

This is what was reported...... 

Facebook believes 120 fake Russian-backed pages 

created 80,000 posts that were received by 29 million 

Americans directly, but reached  a much bigger audience 

by users sharing, liking and following the posts.

What can Facebook do now? 

First, Facebook has the ability to recognize out of the ordinary

pattern of posting, including volume, content, owner, and

physical source.

And since Facebook knows what to look for, it should immediately

scrutinize its entire site until it weeds any and all accounts that 

emulate a pattern of content which would raise 'red flags'. 

Facebook need to evaluate user accounts and posts to determine 

what is appropriate and what is not. 

Users that abuse a Facebook 'code of behavior' will be notified their 

accounts will be closed, and reminded a Facebook account is a privilege, 

not a right.

Facebook could take the first important step in returning civility to social

media and set a new "social media"standard, limiting content to what is 

respectful, not insulting or denigrating.
