Facebook Is Cracking Down On Fake News (But Will Leave The Onion Alone)
Facebook is cracking down on hoaxes, scams, and "deliberately false or misleading news stories," the company announced in a blog post.
The social network plans to begin filtering out bogus stories in an effort to become a more reliable news source for users.
"We are not reviewing content and making a determination on its accuracy," say Facebook engineer Erich Owens and research scientist Udi Weinsberg. However, users will be given the option to flag things as a "false news story" via a drop-down menu on each post.
Unlike items flagged by Facebook's sensitive content filters, fake news stories will not be entirely deleted from the platform — a warning label will be attached to the story and it will be downgraded within users' News Feeds.
Popular parody and satire news outlets like The Onion and The Daily Show should not suffer from this change. "We've found from testing that people tend not to report satirical content intended to be humorous, or content that is clearly labeled as satire. This type of content should not be affected by this update," the company explained.
It's easy to see how the warning label could be abused by rabid fan bases. For instance, Justin Bieber fans may band together to tag a critical story about the star with the label, which reads, "Many people on Facebook have reported that this story contains false information.”
