Fact-checked posts can be made less visible with an option called “reduce more”. Read more at straitstimes.com.
WASHINGTON - Meta-owned Facebook has handed US users the controls over fact-checked content, in a potentially significant move that the platform says will give them more power over its algorithm but some analysts insist could benefit purveyors of misinformation.
Another option labelled “don’t reduce” triggers the opposite effect, moving more of this content higher in their feed, making it more likely to be seen. Meta rolled out the fact-checking option in May, leaving many users to discover it for themselves in the settings. On Tuesday, a federal court in Louisiana restricted some top officials and agencies of President Joe Biden’s administration from meeting and communicating with social media companies to moderate their content.
“Downranking content that fact-checkers rate as problematic is a central part of Facebook’s anti-misinformation program,” David Rand, a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, told AFP.Meta downplayed the concerns, saying it will still attach labels to content that is found to be misleading or false, making it clear that it was rated by one of its third-party fact-checkers.
Fact-checkers, who are not able to review every post on the mammoth platform, routinely face an avalanche of online abuse from people who dispute their ratings – sometimes even when they peddle blatantly false or misleading information.
