Interesting, but much easier to find consensus for "is this spam", vs. "is this fake news". Anyway fake news isn't main problem.

Nah the thing people refer to as "fake news" has a good definition. It doesn't mean breitbart.
-
Definition according to who? Can you come up with a universal one?
-
no, but I also can't come up with a universal definition of "spam" or "scam" and we fight the obvious cases pretty hard
-
"you need to design a perfect definition for edge cases before solving obvious cases" is a programmer pathology :P
-
Fair point. I bet we could do well enough on really obvious cases where it would be beneficial.
-
debates over "breitbart is fake news" are unnecessary to eliminate outlets that would describe themselves that way :P

Ship it, as long as it doesn't take away from people enjoying The Onion :)
