Lahore, 30th May: The world-famous social media platform, Facebook has decided to crack down on accounts, pages and groups that spread false news and information.
Baaghi TV: In a recent press release, Facebook said that users who regularly spread false and misleading information will be given a warning by putting labels on their posts instead of deleting them.
It should be noted that for the last one and a half years, the problem of false information from almost all social media platforms, including Facebook, is becoming more serious whether it is related to elections, climate change or the pandemic.
The Facebook administration says that deleting posts based on lies has not been an effective solution to this problem, so after expert advice, it has been decided to change the notification.
Although the Facebook press release did not say on what basis the information in a post would be considered false, inaccurate or misleading, it did make it clear that the information would be verified for that purpose.
Individual social media accounts that spread lies will have their ‘online status’ reduced in order to be punished. This means that other users will rarely see posts from these accounts.
