Facebook will display fewer political posts

Following Zuckerberg's promise that the θα εμφανίζει λιγότερο πολιτικό in the future, the began to test the new one .

In a blog post, the company he said that it will begin "reducing distribution of political content in the News Feed for a small percentage of people in Canada, Brazil and Indonesia this week”, while the US will follow “in the coming weeks”.

The company says it is using these first tests to find a better way to rank political content, taking into account users and their experience. He also clarified that valid information and content concerning COVID-19 from official government agencies will be excluded from the changes.

Facebook says its goal is not to remove political content altogether, but rather to find a way to respect its members. The company notes that political content accounts for only 6% of what Facebook users see in the US, citing its own survey released in November 2020. It is worth noting, however, that this survey was created in response to data prove that the company was promoting right-wing news to users.

The impending change raises the question of whether a reduction in political content is ultimately the answer. I don't think politics bothers them , but the misinformation and various comments. Of course, the choice of a single political space is not the best either.
