I agree. for example "during these critical months of campaign, 20 top performing false election stories from hoax sites and hyper partisan blogs generated 8711000 shares, reactions,and comments on facebook.”

Yes, this is a good thing but the only thing this does is bring the word around and bring awareness( which is a very good thing) but just the knowledge of the problem doesn't stop it. Action needs to take place and people can't do that just by social media.

Social media shows you what you want to see due to the algorithm. For example, our political opinions. If you believe one thing then social media is not gonna show you the opposing argument. It reminds one-sided.
