Germany to trial Facebook's fake news filters
After receiving widespread criticism for its hand in spreading fake news during the 2016 US Presidential election, Facebook will trial its new fake news filters in Germany, according to an article from the Financial Times.
The filter will allow Facebook users to tag any stories they believe to be fake. Tagged stories will be checked by independent investigative news service Corretiv, who will in turn flag the story as disputed if there is a concern about the story’s truth, and explain why said story was flagged.
