Facebook Launches a News Tab on its Mobile Application

According to Facebook, the firm has worked with different publishers and journalists to promote ‘integrity signals’, based on which, the credibility of a news piece is determined. The algorithm is developed to exclude publishers that share fake news. Facebook also mentioned that algorithms and part human curators would partly determine the news tab. The topmost stories posted in the first section will be decided by journalists themselves. However, the platform’s relationship with the news business is intensely complex and strained thanks to an array of high-profile controversies that came forward over the past years. Hence, it needs to be examined on how efficiently Facebook manages this new venture. Check out? Facebook’s Manage Activity feature lets You Delete Embarrassing Posts
