Facebook Will Now Enforce The Official Story And Censor ‘Bad Information’
Rather than rely simply on user-reported accounts, which will no doubt consist of people trying to tag news stories as inaccurate when in actuality they just don’t agree with it, Facebook will also contribute to the cause by tracking how often stories are deleted.
Since your gullible friends regularly share nonsense only to delete it once they learn they’ve been tricked (Facebook says people are two times more likely to delete hoax posts after receiving comments from friends telling them it’s fake), Facebook will keep track of how often people quietly, shamefully remove posts from their wall and take that into account.
Even with the reports, Facebook will not be removing links to fake stories entirely. Instead, those flagged as false and regularly deleted will be punished with reduced distribution in the News Feed. In a news post by software engineer Erich Owens and research scientist Udi Weinsberg, they explain, “We are not removing stories people report as false and we are not reviewing content and making a determination on its accuracy.”
