You usesthe biggest social network for your everyday life information; Τελευταία το Facebook χρησιμοποιεί bots σαν υπεύθυνα προβολής άρθρων στην ενότητα των Trending Stories. Ήταν μια απόφαση που συνάντησε αρκετές αντιδράσεις όταν διαπιστώθηκε ότι οι αλγόριθμοι εμφάνισαν μια ψεύτικη είδηση της Megyn Kelly του Fox News, μέσα σε λίγες μέρες μετά την εφαρμογή της.
Several weeks later, it seems that the problem still exists: The Washington Post, following the Facebook Trending Stories from 31 August to September 22, discovered five fake stories and three grossly inaccurate reports from the automated social networking system.
Are you wondering why Facebook isn't hiring people to deal with this? Because the human factor is not objective. The company already tried it, with a group of editors before installing its bots, but fired them all in May for censoring conservative news and connections of Wikileaks that showed the DNC emails.
Ultimately, it seems that social networking algorithms are simply not so reliable. This is especially important if you think about how many are informed by the social network, believing that they are watching reliable sources of information.
The problem, as computer scientist Walter Quattrociocchi reported on WP, is that, “When Facebook selectively feeds fake news into these highly personalized feeds, it polarizes the users of."
Mention that fake stories are creating more and more conspiracy theorists by offering them "documentation."
Thus the "innocent" information from the Social Networks it could mean danger to societies in general.
