Facebook raises awareness of fake news

Facebook is advertising in the UK media to increase awareness of fake news. In "Times", "Guardian", and "Telecommunications" papers, all hints on advertisement for these false articles are released.

Social media sites face new political pressures to deal with fake news before next year 's UK elections. For most people, if Facebook is their main source of news and that news is fake, people will vote based on erroneous information.

This platform shows that thousands of fake Facebook accounts have been deleted, and the system monitors repeated releases of the same content and a sudden increase in messages. Google and フ ェ イ ス ブ ッ ク also said they were trying to block the creator from using advertising services, but they noticed that they continued to pop up.

We strive hard to prevent these accounts from spreading false news, but we must be able to judge whether the content read is accurate or not. The displayed ad contains the following 10 hint lists to determine if the story is correct.

PolitiFact and FactCheck work directly with Facebook to evaluate whether the reliability of Facebook user tagged stories may be incorrect. Therefore, these lists contain fake news sites that may know that Facebook is fake. As a result, our results may increase the spread of error messages that Facebook understands, and may not perfectly capture the trend of false information that Facebook does not see. It is difficult to evaluate how big the next group will be. Since our Facebook users can tag any suspicious articles for review, our list almost certainly contains the most important fake article providers. On the other hand, the list can exclude big tails

Since the elections, the number of fake news articles on Facebook has increased rapidly. It is becoming increasingly clear that fake news is posted on Facebook and that it exceeds the actual news and it is becoming increasingly clear that "More than 99% of people think that it is true", Mark Zuckerberg's assertion There is at best a misunderstanding, in the worst case it is direct. Gizmodo reported that Facebook had a solution to dispel fake news, even failed to do it. Technical leaders have an obligation to call this Facebook. It is immoral to profit from a platform that can spread lies. Facebook needs to take measures to prevent fake news from spreading to that platform. To maintain transparency about the severity of the problem, Facebook needs to publish internal data and display and share the amount of fake news.
