It will now show a selection of “related articles” next to offending stories instead. These will give more context and could help people learn the facts surrounding a situation through reputable media publications.

Define "reputable media publications."

"Academic research on correcting misinformation has shown that putting a strong image, like a red flag, next to an article may actually entrench deeply held beliefs – the opposite effect to what we intended," Facebook product manager Tessa Lyons wrote in a blog-post.

That's quite the fancy spin you came up there, Tess!

Non-academic common sense says that people saw the red flags and knew that those were articles with truth in them that Fakebook commie management wanted to steer the sheeple away from.

If Facebook wants to raise the quality of news they could just require news agencies tag any story that uses anonymous sources as unsourced news and any news with verifiable news as sourced news.

How utterly queer, none of the MSM articles that I appropriately flagged as FAKE NEWS (Trump banning words at the CDC, ABC’s jumping-the-gun, Trump this, Trump that) that were subsequently confirmed EVER had that “red flag” adjacent to them nor were the original posts (shared by acquaintances) pulled, corrected, noted, or modified.

PS all of those anti-Trump, anti-Republican Bullstalin stories were pimped by Fakebook in their trending (smears) section.

FUFB

MAGA ! The Curse of Trump !

Fakebook is like the old Soviet Union where what was censored was much more likely to be believed !
