Facebook will start fact-checking memes
Marketwatch ^

Posted on 09/16/2018 11:19:42 AM PDT by MNDude

Facebook Inc. FB, +0.59% said Thursday that it would begin to fact-check photos and videos shared to its platform. So far, most of the work done by human fact-checkers on Facebook has been geared toward articles, the company said in a release. Facebook announced Thursday that it would use a machine-learning model to identify potentially inaccurate photo and video content and then send those items to human fact-checkers for review. "Many of our third-party fact-checking partners have expertise evaluating photos and videos and are trained in visual verification techniques, such as reverse image searching and analyzing image metadata, like when and where the photo or video was taken," the company said. Facebook is looking for content that is manipulated, fabricated, or out of context, among other things.

But memes can be extremely illustrative!

Absolutely they can. And that's why the derp state wants to take them down. They are losing the meme war.

Derps can't meme. It requires a sense of humor and intelligence. And truth.

Hold on for a second there, pal. Are you saying that the George Washington quote below is just made up?

Memes, by definition, are not "factual".

Like this one (hat tip 2ndDivisionVet). And yet it does somehow acurately capture the increasingly insane world we inhabit today. Satire is not dead, it just has to go nuclear every time now.

Grace, you need to bring your meme machine to the Q threads. You're awesome. And fast. And funny.

I think the chan nerds would pick up your memes and they would be spread far and wide.

Buckle up.
Memes at the ready.

If they were, I'd be in favor of banning them too.
