Zuckerberg outlines steps to FINALLY cut down on 'fake' Facebook news stories

[SYTFE]

MENLO PARK, Calif., Nov. 19 (UPI) -- Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg outlined several steps the social media giant is undertaking as it faces withering criticism about the role fake news stories spread on the site played in the run-up to the presidential election.

In a post on his Facebook page Friday night, Zuckerberg said "we take misinformation seriously."

"Our goal is to connect people with the stories they find most meaningful, and we know people want accurate information. We've been working on this problem for a long time and we take this responsibility seriously. We've made significant progress, but there is more work to be done," he said.

Reports by mainstream media outlets like newspapers and television networks have exposed the high number of fake or misleading news stories being passed off on Facebook, often by websites with official-sounding names and the appearance that the sites are legitimate news outlets. Except in many cases, the stories are not true. They do, however, serve as click-bait for readers who are then exposed to the site's advertising along with the misinformation, generating revenue for the site itself while fooling the reader into thinking the news is real.

Good to hear, but a little too late. The fake news epidemic on Facebook proved to be detrimental to lazy, stupid, drooling conservatives who believed all of it and were too stupid to fact check the fake news they bought, hook line and sinker and as a result, voted for an unqualified, fascist, misogynist, racist, raping orange cheeto, and now we're all screwed.

Thanks Mark! 'Preciate the hard work you put it into it over the past 18 months, douchebag!

I'm curious why, for example, when you log on to one of these obviously disgusting hate sites; the first thing you see is the "F" to share the page on facebook? I would make the assumption that the "F" logo is trademarked and you could sue to have it removed from the site.

I'll believe it when those "F"s disappear.

Because one of their biggest sources of traffic is direct from facebook. Those buttons are available on basically any social plugin for your site, so anyone can use them. I don't think Facebook will refuse to allow the fake news sites to use those buttons, but they will prevent them from buying ads on Facebook, and apparently that's already in effect.

It's actually a pretty difficult problem to solve, but they could make a big dent by filtering out fake news posts in their own "edgerank" algorithm (which determines what users see in their news feed.)

I get my news from many different sources....but not from the media conglomerate that has six corporate heads that have a seat on the CFR and Committee of 300 that control 90 percent of ALL media that decide what they want you to know with their own particular spin.....like how Russia INVADED the Ukraine and how Assad used chemical weapons on his own people....all proven to be bullshit. You really are a shill.......you will avoid critical thinking at any cost if it doesn't follow the leftard narrative....like a tree planted by the waters.....you will not be "moved"......good job, moron.

Yeah, they are fake news-sites and their ratings are dropping like a heavy stone thrown in a pond. The journalistic integrity of the lamestream media could be put on the left-hand side of a sesame seed with room to spare......

If it's a registered trademark, whoever owns the registration can ban any site from using it. Otherwise you could have implied "sponsorships" from any company from Coke to Apple to Pfizer. Additionally, you can make a site a "facebook trusted site" with a different logo meaning that if the site doesn't have that new logo; it implies you're not trusted.

I'm not sure what the "prize" is in any case. So...Facebook trusts you; big deal? In terms of being a "news" site, who made Facebook the arbiter of that. In terms of having web traffic they are a major player but in the news credential game, big deal.

To me, allowing the "F" to be on the site is tacit endorsement.
