oday, we’re launching new ways to inform people if they’re interacting with content that’s been rated by a fact-checker as well as taking stronger action against people who repeatedly share misinformation on Facebook. Whether it’s false or misleading content about COVID-19 and vaccines, climate change, elections or other topics, we’re making sure fewer people see misinformation on our apps.
More Context For Pages That Repeatedly Share False Claims We want to give people more information before they like a Page that has repeatedly shared content that fact-checkers have rated, so you’ll see a pop up if you go to like one of these Pages. You can also click to learn more, including that fact-checkers said some posts shared by this Page include false information and a link to more information about our fact-checking program. This will help people make an informed decision about whether they want to follow the Page.
Expanding Penalties For Individual Facebook Accounts Since launching our fact-checking program in late 2016, our focus has been on reducing viral misinformation. We’ve taken stronger action against Pages, Groups, Instagram accounts and domains sharing misinformation and now, we’re expanding some of these efforts to include penalties for individual Facebook accounts too. Starting today, we will reduce the distribution of all posts in News Feed from an individual’s Facebook account if they repeatedly share content that has been rated by one of our fact-checking partners. We already reduce a single post’s reach in News Feed if it has been debunked.
Redesigned Notifications When People Share Fact-Checked Content We currently notify people when they share content that a fact-checker later rates, and now we’ve redesigned these notifications to make it easier to understand when this happens. The notification includes the fact-checker’s article debunking the claim as well as a prompt to share the article with their followers. It also includes a notice that people who repeatedly share false information may have their posts moved lower in News Feed so other people are less likely to see them.
They label things "misinformation" for blatantly political reasons.
The Ministry of Truth-Facebook Division
In 1984 the Ministry of Truth had fact checkers also.
It’s beyond me why any reasonable American would still have a facebook account today. It’s just an echo chamber for leftists. Let them scream at each other and go do something productive instead of engaging in that drivel.
Biden’s plagiarism — “Missing Context”

Something “productive” like being a powerless, silent serf?
The Left uses social media for communication and they happen to be the gang in power now.

————————————
It’s probably the only reasonable free way left to properly communicate with text or video with its messenger and WhatsApp products that people ACTUALLY use. No one really uses Viber or Telegram or the others. .
It’s free on prepaid data in a lot of the world (most people outside the US cannot get a post-paid account)
And outside the US, businesses use WhatsApp (a Facebook company) for most of their communications.
Facebook blocked anyone who posted that Covid-19 originated from a Wuhan lab.
They now changed that because the Democrats changed their stand on the issue.
That is all you need to know about Facebook.
How very Soviet of Facebook.
“Taking Action Against People Who Repeatedly Share Misinformation”
About time someone took a stand against Fauci.
That is who they mean, right?
PING!
No, something productive like not contributing to the livelihood of anti-american leftists who hate you and giving them the ability to censor your communication by using their platform. Every time you use their product you're essentially asking their permission to speak.
Since Facebook is one of the leading providers of false information, are they going to censor themselves?
In other words welcome to Berlin in 1935. Little clubbed foot Joseph is alive and well and working at the propaganda ministry formerly known as Facebook. If THEY don’t like what YOU say, you are blacklisted!!! Funny how the Marxist’s complain when things don’t go their way and then they do crap like google, twitter and facelessbook, all start playing Nazi. And THEY call US Nazi’s!!!! Their actions are closer to the actions of little Joe, oh ain’t that the name of their Braindead dictator up in Sodom on the Potomac,???
Those are excuses, not reasons. IMHO
No one should be on facebook. Not anymore and for no reason.
Face palm skidMark
mmm..FaceBook can create whatever miserable censorship rules they want.
Its a privately held corporation.
Whether YOU use it or not is YOUR decision.
