You won’t believe these Facebook plans to cut down on ‘click-bait’

Facebook has announced plans to cut down on ‘click-bait’ articles that appear on user news feeds, as the company says it wants to tackle spam on the site.

Click-bait refers to articles that misleadingly encourage the reader to click a story to see more, without telling them exactly what they will see.

Common headlines include “you won’t believe what happened next” and similar vague suggestions to draw in users.
