Curated content<\/a> and a survey system<\/a> are just the tip of the proverbial iceberg in Facebook\u2019s attempts to crack down on fake news<\/strong>. The social media company is now enlisting the help of third-party fact-check organizations<\/a> to assist in identifying fake news<\/strong> before it goes viral.<\/p>\n

Recently, Facebook has revealed that this system helps to scrutinize the news stories that go through the Facebook News Feed. These fact-checked organizations are signatories of the <\/strong>Poynter\u2019s International Fact Checking Code of Principles<\/strong><\/a>, meaning that they are all professionals in their field.<\/p>\n

Of course, Facebook will not be demanding these organizations to check every single news article. Instead, these organizations will be working in tandem with Facebook\u2019s Fake News reporting system<\/strong>. Whenever a news article gets reported by multiple users as being fake, Facebook would gather these reports, along with other signals<\/strong>, and send the compiled data over to the organizations<\/strong>. The organizations would then conduct their fact checking.<\/p>\n

Once the news article has been qualified as fake, it will be flagged as \"disputed\"<\/strong>. A dispute warning will appear below the article, accompanied by a link with the reason of possible falsehood<\/strong>. So whenever you would like to share a post in the future, you\u2019ll be aware if the post is valid or a hoax.<\/p>\n

Besides the bright red \"disputed\"<\/strong> label, disputed news articles may also appear lower in the News Feed<\/strong>. Additionally, these stories can\u2019t be made into an ad or be promoted either, which effectively denies the host ad revenue and potential web traffic. As users, we would really like that.<\/p>\n
