Facebook to combat fake news
Posted on: 17/Dec/2016 2:31:52 PM
In response to mounting criticism over the spread of misinformation, particularly during the US presidential election, Facebook is planning to fight the fake news. When enough users flag a news article they think is factually inaccurate, Facebook sends the link to a digital clearing house accessible to a handful of fact-checking organizations.
The social network is trying to crack down on fake news. The social network is going to partner with the Poynter International Fact-Checking Network, which includes groups such as Snopes and the Associated Press, to evaluate articles flagged by Facebook users. If those articles do not pass the smell test for the fact-checkers, Facebook will label that evaluation whenever they are.
