Looks like its happening fellas. The progressive agenda has been debunked so people will be soon fishing through anything deemed to be fake news or posts they dislike 24/7, 365 days a year. You will be snitched on, and reported if somebody disapproves of your content/post on FB. You can forget all the BS about having your freedom of speech because progressives are taking action, well in Germany anyway:
"If after appropriate examination Facebook does not delete the offending post within 24 hours, then it should expect individual fines of up to €500,000," Opperman told Der Spiegel.
"Facebook has not used the opportunity to effectively regulate the issue of complaint management itself," he added. So he now wants to "legally oblige market-leading platforms such as Facebook to set up a legal protection centre that is accessible 365 days a year in Germany". The office would be responsible for removing defamatory, false and offensive content.
The proposal, which Opperman said already has support from the leading Christian Democratic Union, comes after Facebook said it will introduce tools to prevent the spread of fake news on its platform.
Under the changes, there will now be a simple way for users to flag stories they think could be fake, which the company will then fact check alongside organisations such as Snopes.
In the interim, disputed stories will appear lower in users' News Feed and once flagged cannot be boosted with a paid-for promotion.

It appeared to be an about-face after Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook's chief executive, dismissed claims that fake and misleading news had helped Donald Trump secure the US presidency as a "crazy idea".
Facebook and Google last month teamed up with a pledge to ban websites peddling fake news from advertising on their services. Back in October Google said it would also start fact checking online news stories. "
Goodnight sweet Germany.
