The social is one of the causes of the spread of hoaxes on the network, to stop the phenomenon users after reading the news will leave feedback
Much of the wide spread of hoaxes, or fake news, on the network is the fault of Facebook. The social network is not responsible for what some misleading sites write, but it is an important sounding board. It is for this reason that Facebook is trying to put a definitive remedy asking for help to the users.
The survey of Facebook against the false news. In order to improve the quality of the news, Mark Zuckerberg’s social network will ask users for a small feedback after viewing the news. The Facebook poll question will ask us how much we consider misleading the article we read. And we could answer following the standard options ranging from “not at all” to “totally misleading”. Responding is not mandatory, you can reject the survey or just scroll through without leaving feedback. The main purpose is to find out the hoaxes but also to decrease the cases of clickbaiting, that is the bait headlines that lead us to click on a news item.
Pro and cons for the new Facebook feature
With this system Facebook counts to improve the user experience, but there are some concerns. First of all, the users who leave feedback could be the same ones who have written and are promoting the fake news or the bait headline on the social network. So the full efficiency of the service must be verified. In addition, Facebook in this way will collect a lot of data on its users and it is not yet clear what it will do with this feedback, which undoubtedly in addition to finding the hoaxes gives important information about the reading interests of the same user. It’s still not clear how and in how much time Facebook will develop this system.
