The proliferation of fake news on Facebook has raised significant concerns about the dissemination of misinformation and its impact on public opinion and democratic processes. This paper provides an annotated bibliography exploring the phenomenon of fake news on Facebook, analyzing contributions from various sources including whistleblower accounts, scholarly research, and media analyses. Central to this discussion are figures such as Francis Haugen, whose disclosures highlighted Facebook's struggles with content moderation and the propagation of misinformation, and Robert McNamee, an early investor who later criticized Facebook's practices, as detailed in his book "Zucked". Such sources offer crucial insights into Facebook's internal challenges and the platform's role in spreading fake news. Scholarly research, including studies by Vosoughi, Roy, and Aral (2018), contribute empirical evidence on how misinformation spreads, revealing that false information travels faster and more broadly than truthful content. Popular media sources and interviews provide contemporary perspectives and illustrate the real-world consequences of fake news, such as political polarization and public health misinformation during the COVID-19 pandemic. By compiling diverse perspectives, this annotated bibliography aims to deepen understanding of Facebook's role in facilitating the spread of fake news and to inform potential strategies for intervention.
