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.

Wrong. Facebook will begin fact checking memes that are not appropriately far Left.
Facebook and fact checking should never be used in the same sentence.
Sorry, won’t happen again.
5.56mm
That got nerdy fast.
Friends and family, people so spread out now it is easy way to stay connected. That is why people went there to begin with, why people are still there.
Facebook wants to believe they are some news agency or social conscience and maybe to a few misguided people they are, I don’t see it. Majority of the users think it is a joke that FB sees itself as some important beacon to guide the way.
Most see FB as replacing the old porches people hung out on greeting people that went by and enjoying a visit with friends and family.
I would have three pages, social, religious,. and political. The political would be free speech and open forum.
Yep, the are THAT STUPID....
And occupy democrats
Look up the word “aposematism” ;-)
Eye Bleach, STAT!
You Owe.
Keyboard. Me-ye-owe.
Keyboard Meow!
:-)
*Wait*. Are you one of bagster's fiancees yet? Consider yourself *highly* commended.
ROFLMAO!!
An anecdote: supposedly, there was a lecture in a linguistics class, where the professor was droning on and ON about how all languages have affirmative statements, and all languages have negative statements, and two negatives make a positive, and a negative and positive make a negative, but there were NO examples where two positive statements made a negative.
Just then a bored voice piped up from the back of the lecture hall:
"...yeah, *RIGHT*."
Anyone still on facebook needs to check their heads.
Facebook ceo committed stock fraud with the IPO claiming far more people were using it then were.
I work in IT. I know many ways to take down a computer system. I am sure if they are parsing the memes for phrases and they didn’t build it right, it would be hackable.
Look up the word “aposematism” ;-)
Saved for later.
Well seems to me that fb takes the metrics of the porch sitters to make themselves social media Nazis who will decide who is worthy to be on their platform and who isn’t.
So all those folks who just want to keep up with their folks feed the machine.
You could say the same about people who live in solid liberal areas. By working there, owning real estate, paying taxes, and otherwise contributing to the area are they not supporting liberals in some way?
If someone had a site that compared I would switch, until then I am not likely to. I have signed up on sites that people say are conservative fb type sites. There is no one there. Very few groups to join for recipes, or horse related, or anything including politics. There are a few pages there but no one posts. Like a ghost town.
I do think someone will get it right and fb will empty out like myspace did. Has not happened yet though.
