Facebook, the social network Mark Zuckerberg is testing a new feature that will allow surfers to report false . For “false news” Facebook intends “deliberately false news” or “exposed a scam from a reliable source.”
The purpose is to try to increase the exposure of content like, relevant and interest to users, and reduce the exposure of content like little or are even harmful, so as to increase the time that users spend on Facebook and, consequently, increasing the chance they click on advertising content, such as to earn more money in Facebook .
A spokesman for Facebook Italy explained in Republic that “Report stories that do not want to see the News Feed helps to make a best work to show the most relevant content in the future. ”
Who has the right to say, however, when a news is fake or not?
Very often read news explicitly false, but with the aim to entertain or simply acquire traffic and clicks using themes often extremely hot or heard by people.
What to do in these cases? E ‘on this that Facebook is working.
The option is still in an experimental phase, currently about 700 thousand subscribers, but the social network of Zuckerberg hopes that it can epsandersi to all members: if so will or not will depend on how the tests.
A recent survey has revealed that teenagers are losing interest in Facebook, so that the use, in percentage terms, collapsed in a single year, to share 88% if the band 13-17 years. Compared to 2012, in fact, the popularity of Facebook among American teenagers has seen a sharp decline in attendance rising from 94% in 2013 to 88% in 2014. A marked drop compared to last year, which will always be more pronounced in the coming years, especially if you ‘claims other platforms. E ‘therefore logical to think that Facebook is finding new strategies to retain users.
