Sascha Segan is the lead analyst for PCMag.com. Segan joins Cheddar to explain why this problem is so rampant and what needs to be done to stop the problem.
Segan explains that falsehoods are a hard problem to deal with unless the platforms, Facebook and Twitter are willing to take responsibility and control the problem.
Segan says lies are so shareable because they can be constructed to be as fun as possible. In his words, "Lies have no boundaries."
In terms of fixing this problem, Segan says Twitter and Facebook need to come to grips with the fact they are publications and they are editors. They need to take responsibilities over their platforms and seek out lies.
