Facebook is obviously trying to inspire you. The company he said changes to News Feed of today, which are supposed to serve feeds with things that users like, and not with content that bothers them.
In late March, Facebook began adding filters to allow users to customize their News Feed and now, the company hopes to learn more about what users like and dislike, with a new feature that seems to be giving emphasis on moving away from political content: with "Inspirational posts" or "inspirational posts."
The company has come under intense scrutiny to help mend the political divide in the US but also to stop playing too much of a role in elections. Η επιρροή του Facebook και στα δύο ζητήματα προήλθε σε μεγάλο βαθμό από την παραπληροφόρηση που διαδόθηκε στην platform.
Of course no one is sure that inspirational posts are the News Feed treatment the company hopes for. Facebook plans to track its users to find which posts they find inspiring so it can customize how it ranks content in the News Feed.
According to Facebook, users want inspirational content because it “motivates them and can be useful to them.” Certainly the way the biggest social presents it network It seems to be a very nice idea, but who can guarantee that what Facebook says is the only truth. Facebook reported in The Verge:
For the purposes of our research, we will ask people how inspiring they find specific posts in the News Feed. Based on the feedback we have, our members have said that they consider the content to be "inspired" if:
- It gives them positive, new ideas to do something different
- It is the information that changes their thinking or perceptions
- It evokes refreshing and creative thinking
As Facebook suggests in its original blog post, "a photo of a national park can inspire someone to spend more time in nature."
Facebook, on the other hand, is trying a new method of hiding posts in the news feed.
Despite the measures Facebook is announcing, it still seems slow and reluctant to make big changes to its platforms. The company carried out a drastic change in the News Feed after the US election, boosting authoritative news sources but only temporarily.
So why trust another investigation with parallel publication concealments once again?
