“We could try to make that decision ourselves, but that’s not something we were comfortable with”.

“It’s obvious that the days of getting exposure as a business on Facebook are coming to an end”, said Michael Stelzner, the CEO of social media marketing company Social Media Examiner.
He said: “Adweek in the United States described it as a nuclear bomb – I think that’s slightly overegging it”. But rest assured, we’re still very active. However, Facebook has not stated which news sources are now considered “trusted” or exactly what questions were contained in the survey given to users.
Choukrallah believes that the best way to face this scourge is to “teach people how to identify fake news themselves and to become more critical of what they read, hear or see”. “Or we could ask you – the community – and have your feedback determine the ranking”, he said.
“We need much more than vague reassurances on this – we need independent checking and public details to make sure Facebook won’t leave LGBT+ people and other vulnerable groups even more open to persecution and misinformation”, he added. This change will only apply to US users, although – if successful – Facebook plans to enforce the effort internationally. Last week, he addressed Facebook making you feel bad.
“From what it sounds like they’re going to change that now by devaluing what publishers are doing and kind of promoting what family and friends are saying”. Winston Churchill. Rosa Parks. “So it’s already creating silos of information flow”.
“Do people get it through Facebook because they can?” Facebook will then use survey data to prioritize news source ranking in the social media platform newsfeed. That’s the reason why I hold many holdings that are founder-run businesses as part of my Project M portfolio.

And to give Zuckerberg a break, his protestations that he truly wants to take the fake news off his platform appears laudable. Keep in mind that each news source has its followers, and its followers remain loyal. Also, while you are watching a video you can’t like or comment on anything else, which is a huge concern for Facebook and the way they analyze content. The company is planning to do this by running surveys. From a strategy point of view I don’t think it will change what we do. Instead of wiping out these eclectic voices, which will make those voices stand stronger in their own community against the closing in of the hegemony, I propose we make those voices stronger.
He went on: “The other important thing to understand is this isn’t a simple vote”.
The outlets will be ranked on how trustworthy their news articles are, how useful they are for finding out information and how relevant they are to people’s local communities. The real news is complicated and often boring. The issue is only seeing one type of news.
This is a huge shift for Facebook, which until recently has been laser-focused on keeping users glued to the service by offering a bevy of notifications and “engaging” but low-value material.

It is likely a response to the criticism it received when Facebook fired many editors after Republican political figures noted that news stories with conservative content were suppressed from Facebook.
