Germany has taken a tough stance in the battle against fake news and now it's about to become the first country outside of the U.S. to get Facebook's new tools help combat the problem. It comes after German officials threatened to fine the social media platform for every fake story that populated the newsfeed as it goes against the country's strict defamation laws.

There are many things Americans need right now, but seeing Paul Ryan attempt to dab is definitely not one of them. Despite this fact, the Speaker of the House decided to do it anyway... on national television. Way to go, Paul.

People living with mental illness and other invisible conditions are fighting stigma head-on, thanks to a new social media campaign. A collection of simple online badges, created by 28-year-old mental health advocate Kat Selwyn Layton from North Carolina, features declarative statements about mental health on colorful backgrounds.

Despite the fact that China thinks Donald Trump is a ridiculous tweeter, Trump is still a YUGE fan of the nation's Great Wall. In fact, he loves China's Great Wall so much that he's creatively decided to start calling his own architectural dream structure by the same exact name. On Friday, the president-elect attempted to shut down the "dishonest media" with a single tweet, reassuring followers that Mexico will pay for wall he plans to build across the U.S. and Mexico border... eventually.

A blind man has strapped a GoPro camera to his guide dog to record the daily discrimination he faces during his London commute. Amit Patel, a 37-year-old former A&E doctor, lost his sight in 2012 and relies on his guide dog Kika to navigate his way around the capital during rush hour. The decision to fit his guide dog with a camera came out of frustration over the number of incidents he faced on a daily basis, but could not see for himself.

If you wanted to jam to Ed Sheeran's new song and rock a pair of sunglasses, just turn to Snapchat. The app debuted a 30-second clip of the "Thinking Out Loud" singer's new song that is set to release at midnight ET Friday. You may not have noticed the experience on Snapchat, unless you had your volume up and listening through to hear Sheeran's voice at the 30-second loop. There's no mention of Sheeran's name where users tap to use the lens nor within the lens itself.

On the first day of the newest Congress, a new penalty went into effect: anyone livestreaming, recording, taping, photographing, or broadcasting anything from the House floor could face up to a $2,500 fine.

UFC legend Ronda Rousey disappeared immediately following her stunning 48-second loss to Amanda Nunes on Friday, but that didn't stop fans on social media from crafting some of the meanest digs at the fallen champ ever. No, we're not going to recap most of them, just trust us, it got pretty nasty pretty quickly.

John Grkovic is a passionate guy. We saw that in a CNN man-on-the-street interview the day after the election during a protest in Chicago. His fervor shone through the dark Chicago streets, as did his ardent Hillary Clinton support and frustration with the electoral college system in a two-minute clip that aired live. Soon after his appearance on CNN, his TV moment took a turn.

Democrats led an epic sit-in (25 hours is nothing to sneeze at) on the House floor last June when House Speaker Paul Ryan refused to vote on gun control bills following the Pulse nightclub massacre. Livestreams, tweets and other social media posts of the hours-long Democratic refusal to leave chambers spread all over the internet, but now Ryan is proposing a vote in January to bring in rules that fine anyone who uses electronic devices to photograph, film or broadcast from the House floor.
