The Facebook announced today the measures it will take to combat fake news: the income from advertisements.
As they explain two υπεύθυνοι προϊόντων στο Facebook στη σημερινή ενημέρωση, δεν θα επιτρέπεται η διαφήμιση στο Facebook σε και από σελίδες που μοιράζονται επανειλημμένα τα νέα που έχουν επισημανθεί σαν ψευδή από τους τρίτους.
Facebook hopes that this measure will help stop the tide of false stories as it cuts off any possible cash allocation on such pages:
The current update of the measures helps to stop financial incentives and reduce the spread of false news, which is another step towards building a more informed community in Facebook.
When Facebook he first described his plan to curb fake news last year, reported cutting its revenue to spammers, but did not explain how it would do that.
Adam Mosseri, VP of News Feed, said it was very easy to pinpoint the true motives of people running such Pages:
We have found that many bogus news is about financial incentives. Spammers earn money disguised as well-known news agencies and publish jokes that make people visit their websites that serve mainly ads.
Facebook product managers also stated that the Pages that have been detected as fake content may be allowed to advertise if they ever stop sharing fake news, but did not specify when space.
