It will focus on the “worst of the worst” offenders and partner with outside fact- checkers and news organi- zations to sort honest news reports from made-up stories that play to people’s passions and preconceived notions. The social network will make it easier for users to report fake news when they see it, which they’ll be able to do in two steps, not three. If enough people report a story as fake, Facebook will pass it to third-party fact-checking organizations that are part of the nonprofit Poynter Institute’s International Fact- Checking Network. Five fact-checking and news organizations are working with Facebook on this: ABC News, The Asso- ciated Press, FactCheck.

In an interview before Facebook’s announcement, she urged the company to “engage media professionals and organizations that are working on these issues.” Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has said that fake news constitutes less than 1 percent of what’s on Facebook , but critics say that’s wildly misleading. For a site with nearly 2 billion users tapping out posts by the millisecond, even 1 percent is a huge number, especially since the total includes everything that’s posted on Facebook — photos, videos and daily updates in addition to news articles. from unproven cancer cures to celebrity hoaxes and backyard Bigfoot sightings. But fake political stories have drawn outsized attention because of the possibility that they influ- enced public perceptions and could have swayed the U.S. presidential election. There have been dangerous real-world consequences. A fake story about a child sex ring at a Washington, D.C., pizza joint prompted a man to fire an assault rifle inside the restaurant. By partnering with respected outside organi- zations and flagging, rather than removing, fake stories, Facebook is sidestepping some of the biggest concerns experts had raised about it exercising its considerable power in this area. For instance, some worried that Facebook might act as a censor — and not a skillful one, either, being an engi- neer-led company with little AFTERNOON A&E 52 AMC 60 ANPL CMT CNBC CNN DISC DISN 24 43 72 68 51 26 ESPN 33 ESPN2 FNC FOOD FREE FX GOLF GSN HALL HGTV 34 66 61 32 65 88 76 87 62 HIST 50 LIFE NICK 29 27 ROOT 37 SPIKE 42 SYFY 67 TBS 59 TCM 56 TLC TNT UNI USA WE WGN STZ ENC HBO HBO2 HBO3 MAX SHOW STARZ 49 57 21 58 118 644 518 520 521 549 578 621 6 PM Business (N) 6:30 Seahawks Hell's Kitchen The All Access remaining chefs tackle sliders for their next challenge.

Stories that flunk the fact check won’t be removed from Facebook. But they’ll be publicly flagged as “disputed,” which will force them to appear lower down in people’s news feed. Users can click on a link to learn why that is. And if people decide they want to share the story with friends anyway, they can — but they’ll get another warning. “We do believe that we have an obligation to combat the spread of fake news,” said John Hegeman, vice presi- dent of product management on news feed, in an interview. But he added that Facebook also takes its role to provide people an open platform seriously, and that it is not the company’s place to decide what is true or false.
