Facebook will begin to alert users after they’ve been exposed to misinformation about the coronavirus, the company announced Thursday, the latest in a series of actions meant to curtail the spread of wrong or misleading claims related to the pandemic.
Users who have liked, commented on or reacted to coronavirus misinformation that has been flagged as “harmful” by Facebook and removed will now be directed to a website debunking coronavirus myths from the World Health Organization.
The announcement came in a blog post written by Guy Rosen, Facebook's vice president of integrity.
“We want to connect people who may have interacted with harmful misinformation about the virus with the truth from authoritative sources in case they see or hear these claims again off of Facebook,” Rosen wrote.
The new alert will not identify the specific post containing harmful misinformation, according to a Facebook spokesperson, who said the company was relying on research that shows repeated exposure - even in fact checks - can sometimes reinforce misinformed beliefs.
The move by Facebook is just the most recent step in an aggressive and coordinated response by it and other tech companies to promote facts and guidance from reputable sources about the spread of the coronavirus and combat the glut of false information that the WHO in February warned had become a “massive infodemic.”
Facebook has also provided the WHO and other health organizations fighting the coronavirus with free ads and continues to ban ads that promote fake coronavirus cures.

Double Ungood.
FB = WHO = CCP!
Who made them the boss of me? This is totally un-American.
In other news Faceboook will now steer users to the Babylon Bee for fact checking on all stories.
That's one of those positions where if the company feels the need to actually name someone to lead it, they have absolutely ZERO integrity.
Is this satire? If not, it should be.
It’s not satire. And when you open up Facebook, it makes a chirp or ding sound. I guess it is trying to draw your attention to WHO and fake news organizations. It’s alarming, so to speak. Next they will try to convince everyone that we will all die from global warming within ten years if we don’t do what the “experts” say.
What a great idea Facebook has! If only they could do the same thing with politics! (I don’t need the tag do I?)
Facebook is still paying attention to you. Shopping habits. Internet browsing. Locations. Online purchases. Internet searches. Emails. Etc.
