Surely you have read some false news on the internet. A lot of 'Fake News' circulates on the network and spreads like wildfire through WhatsApp and different social networks, such as Facebook or Instagram. Even the media echoes this news, making more and more users read it, believe it, and share it. For some time now, the main internet companies have been adding functions and warnings to avoid these false news.In WhatsApp, for example, add a resent notice to avoid hoaxes. Facebook has added a new notice that will appear on our wall when there is a fake news.
The warning will appear exactly in the publication and in such a way that the user can clearly understand that this image or link belongs to fake news , and that it has been contrasted to verify its authenticity. The notice is very similar to the one already shown by both platforms in sensitive content (violence, accidents, animal abuse...). As we can see in the image, the notice will say 'False information', and will show by what means the news has been denied. We will also have a button to find out in detail why it is false news. For example, because the video has been edited, because it belongs to a news item from a few years ago, or because it is a prepared video, among other reasons. Feed sharing this content Facebook or Instagram will flag a notice.This notice will also appear in Instagram stories.
New options on Facebook
In addition to this new notice starting next month, Facebook will also be making big changes to profiles and news feeds. For example, they will add a new tab called "Organizations that run this page" in the main Facebook news accounts. This tab will show the information of the accounts that manage this profile to show greater transparency to the user. Mark Zuckerberg's platform will also show userss how much major political parties have spent on . In addition to blocking those accounts where they motivate not to vote.
