In an effort to combat it misinformationς που διαδίδεται μέσω φωτογραφιών και βίντεο, το Instagram προσθέτει την προnotice “False Information” on platform of.
Instagram is stepping up its efforts to combat misinformation and now automatically include tagging some fake articles. Using a combination of user reporting and automation, suspicious content will be sent to independent auditors for verification and labeled "False" if it turns out to be fake.
According to Instagram, the content will be labeled as potentially counterfeit with "a combination of feedback from the user community and our technology". Then, if the independent third parties recognize that the content is genuinely fake, three things will happen:
- The photo or video will be removed from the Explore and Hashtag pages to "reduce its distribution"
- The photo will clearly be labeled "False Information" on a cover that does not allow you to see the photo or video directly.
- Anyone who tries to post the same photo will receive a warning that they are going to share false information.
The example Instagram gave in its announcement was a widely shared photo of a shark in a flooded car.mobileHouston Street during Hurricane Harvey.
In addition to the three consequences shown above, accounts that are repeatedly flagged for sharing false information will be permanently removed from the Explore pages and hashtag tags.
This automatic flagging could help combat some disinformation efforts. Maybe this way you will stop seeing articles with old hoaxes or fake science issues. Αυτό δεν θα σταματήσει απαραιτήτως τους επαγγελματίες τσαρλατάνους και φαρσέρ και σίγουρα δεν θα σας βοηθήσει να αποφύγετε ψευδείς πολιτικές διαφημίσεις που έχουν κατακλύσει το διαnetwork. But it is a step in the right direction.
