. @VeraJourova calls on social media giants to do more to tackle #COVID19 fake news: “In a time of crisis, we don’t have the luxury to not provide the people with precise information.” https://politi.co/2UXOBEO 

Wants: 1) greater access to data; 2) more insight into what types of content are displayed for ppl; 3) better ability to track misinformation on @WhatsApp & other encrypted services

4) Push to demonetize misinformation through online ads & other social media services. “We need to fight against this phenomenon,” said Jourová. “That the lying pays more than the truth.”

Also, turns out Jourova isn’t a big fan of binge-watching @Netflix during the crisis. She’s not watching endless amounts of movies, but is spending her time reading & listening to classical music.

Personally, that’s a little too highbrow for my liking.

FWIW, should have included this thread (written before the interview w/ @VeraJourova) https://twitter.com/markscott82/status/1247222496576888832?s=21 https://twitter.com/markscott82/status/1247222496576888832
