Horror writer Stephen King has quite Facebook, saying there is too much fake news and misinformation on the platform.
“I’m quitting Facebook. Not comfortable with the flood of false information that’s allowed in its political advertising, nor am I confident in its ability to protect its users’ privacy. Follow me (and Molly, aka The Thing of Evil) on Twitter, if you like,” said King in a tweet.
