Really...you'd have to be seriously daft to trust Facebook about that.
CBC, BBC and other "state" news outlets have done an excellent job of reporting real news for generations. Only in the United States are a lot of people foolish enough to believe a better job will be done by giant corporations that only report what people want to hear because it generates more profit.
So yes, Germany will have a much better chance at having a fair election if they enact this measure, and sensible people will continue to mourn the death of genuine news media (and probably democracy) in the US.
Your comment contains statements that simply are not true. As somebody who obviously has been suckered in by fake news, I would hope you'd educate yourself to the point where you understand that legitimate news outlets that get a story wrong correct their errors publicly. Fake news sites exist for no reason but to deceive.
Educate yourself, or at least have the common courtesy to STFU until you get your facts right.

Republican domination of state houses during the census guaranteed their ability to gerrymander electoral districts to the point where they'll never lose control of the House. Tom DeLay might have served jail time, but he succeeded in utterly destroying any possible US argument that it is still a democracy, and delivered the country into the hands of mouth-breathing racist morons for the foreseeable future.
Who said anything about "conspiracies"? If I let it be known that people who flatter me on Facebook will get a few bucks for their trouble, does it take a "conspiracy" to ensure that I'll get a lot of people saying nice things about me?
"How does a title like Soldner, that tried to do more new stuff than the other war games combined, get trashed by every reviewer, and then far less innovative and fun to play war games like BF, COD, CS sell tens of millions of copies per release and get rave reviews all around?"
Simple. Because Soldner isn't, in a roundabout way, paying the reviewers' salaries. There's no way the reviewers can make money off it, and it's competition to games made by companies that give them money, freebies and other nice stuff.
A man of honour and dignity would do exactly what Obama is doing: stand up like a man and protest when his government's electoral process is threatened by communists.
Trump supporters, of course, are unable to understand such concepts. They use them for effect, but have no commitment to either honour or dignity.
If my buddies are any indication, they died years ago from various loathsome diseases, and are sending back evidence to their still-ambulatory bodies about what the air is like in hell.
It looks like your epilepsy isn't the only brain problem you have. Clearly stupidity is also present.
Many things can trigger epileptic seizures, including flashing lights, or even looking at a fan's blades when they're moving. Just because you aren't affected that way doesn't mean nobody is.
Educate yourself or at least have the common decency to STFU.
Let me guess. You weren't aware that Trump got caught refusing to rent to people of colour. This was proven in court, and he suffered consequences as a result.
That's reality, and the court records exist to prove it. So try to get out of your fantasy world once in a while, Trumpster-boy.
I'm going to translate "play the race card" into English. It means, "point out that a bunch of vicious old racists banded together in a bloc to vote for another vicious old racist...one who was actually caught engaging in racism and forced by a court of law to admit it".
As a Canadian who frequently visits family and friends in England, and who chats with them almost daily, I can say with confidence that Trump voters and Brexit voters cannot really be compared, though there is a certain amount of overlap in the areas you mention.
Most of the Brexit voters I know are actually well-educated and certainly not poverty-stricken. But they realized that if the British economy takes a hit over Brexit, they won't be hit much harder than they're being hit now. When the economy was booming, they were steadily spiralling downward. Wealth was concentrated at the very narrow top of the pyramid, while people who had worked hard for most of their lives saw their decent jobs vanish. And they saw that their well-educated, hard-working children couldn't do better than a minimum wage retail job paying so little they can't afford even to shop in the stores they work in. They can't afford a place of their own, and any hope of getting a decent job that would let them be independent is a fantasy.
And in return for receiving all these "benefits" from the booming economy, they had to give up control of their borders and their currency...two of the most basic necessities for continued existence as a nation.
So when push came to shove, what did they really have to lose by voting to get out of the EU? The economy tanks? So what! At least the top few who were getting all the benefits of EU membership and raking in billions of pounds to add to their existing fortunes might finally suffer just a small fraction of what my friends and family have been enduring for a generation.

I always kind of wondered whether the "modelling agency" his wife worked at might actually be something else.
I'd mod you up if I could.
Back at ya, my friend! I think if we ever find out how deep Trump's ties to Russia really are, we'll be pretty upset.
When Trump takes over, he'll just give the Russians whatever they want. No need for all this nasty cyber-crime.

Grow up, you silly child.
Is Trump's connection with Putin purely sexual, or are there US national security implications?
...do they believe that only one of these many alternatives will be the way to live on Mars.

Try not to be such a tool.

All excellent points, and we could no doubt discuss how humans would fare in the midst of a Shoggoth feeding event.
Thank you for refusing to join the descent into nonsense we've seen elsewhere on this thread.
Please don't degrade this discussion with reference to mere fantasy and non-existent aliens.
If there's going to be an expedition to this site, it's Shoggoths they need to worry about.
You're wrong...as we'll soon see. Not that Trumplickers will ever admit it. They still think Obama was born in Kenya.
Is it true Trump's buddies want to hold a cross burning on the front lawn of the White House as part of the inauguration ceremony?
No doubt Microsoft's next move will be an attempt to convince people it's just a screen saver.
A man of honour and dignity would do exactly what Obama is doing: stand up like a man and protest when his government's electoral process is threatened by communists.
Trump supporters, of course, are unable to understand such concepts. They use them for effect, but have no commitment to either honour or dignity.
Yeah, US intelligence agencies are so well-known for overreacting to stuff like this.
Trumplickers will do just about anything to bury evidence that their guy is so far up Putin's bum he can see teeth.
A fart would probably tell them a lot more.
If my buddies are any indication, they died years ago from various loathsome diseases, and are sending back evidence to their still-ambulatory bodies about what the air is like in hell.
Or maybe China.
