You use the biggest social network for your daily life information; Last time Facebook uses bots to display articles in the Trending section 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 appears the problem persists: H The Washington Post tracking Facebook's Trending Stories from August 31 to September 22 uncovered five fake stories, as well as three grossly inaccurate reports from the social network's automated system.
Are you wondering why Facebook does not employ human resources to address the issue? Because the human factor is not objective. The company has already tried it with a group of editors before setting up its bots, but they were sacked all in May to censure conservative news and Wikileaks links showing DNC email.
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 "innocent" information from social networks could mean danger to societies in general.
