Social media is becoming popular as a result
of the development of technology. The first
in the list is Facebook.
But last year the issue of spreading false
news on Facebook came forward. In
particular, during the campaign of presidential elections in the United States
last year, the arrows of spreading false
news during the campaigning of the press
were rife in various media. In spite of this,
Facebook has taken several
steps to popular social media. One of them is to identify false news. With that goal,
Facebook recently added an icon named
‘Trust Indicator’. It is known that after using
this technology,
after publishing a news on Facebook,
publisher’s policy and ownership will be published. Facebook says that in the initial
stages a small group of publishers are being
added to the index. In a statement, Facebook
said in a statement
that we Believe that this new attachment
allows everyone to verify the credibility of the
news publishers themselves. This is a bigger
fight about false news and false information
about Facebook, Facebook says. It is also said
in this statement that through
this we are adding people to the news publishers and other related matters so that
they can make the right decision. Google and
Craig Newmark have provided
money in this This indicator has been
developed under a team trust project at
Santa Clara University.
