Facebook Decides To Do Something About It's "Fake News" Problem 1

After continuously denying the fact it has a serious problem with fake news, Facebook has finally admitted it does, in fact, have a problem with fake news.

The social media giant announced several specific ways in which it will try to fix these thorny issues.

Adam Mosseri, Facebook’s vice president of news feed, outlined the efforts. There are four primary initiatives: “easier reporting,” “flagging stories as disputed,” “informed sharing,” and “disrupting financial incentives for spammers.”

The first involves community reporting —something that I’d say hasn’t really exactly worked well for Facebook in the past—and will make it easier for users to report something as fake.

The second initiative, “flagging stories as disputed,” is an interesting one. According to Mosseri, “Facebook cannot become arbiters of truth [them]selves,”. Facebook will begin to work with third-party fact checking organizations to check out potentially fake news stories.

4 organizations—ABC News, Politifact, FactCheck, and Snopes—will be part of this effort. According to ABC News president James Goldston, his company will use its team of election fact-checkers—about a half-dozen in all—and put them to use ferreting out bullshit on Facebook. (He says ABC isn’t getting paid by Facebook.)

Once a story has been “disputed,” it will still show up, but users “will see a warning that the story has been disputed as [they] share.”

As for the “informed sharing” portion of the effort, Facebook says that the number of times a story is shared—supposedly an indicator as to whether it’s misleading—will factor into how it’s ranked on the news feed. And finally, “disrupting financial incentives for spammers” will allegedly deter fake website purveyors from making money, though the actual mechanisms by which Facebook plans to do this are rather vague.

Of course, Facebook is a powerful company that carries out its operations in opaque and mysterious ways, so it’s difficult to tell whether or not these efforts will actually do much of anything.
