Facebook’s Cautious, Sensible Plan to Fight Fake News

[Darth Credence]

Now, it seems, Facebook is taking it seriously. The company announced on Thursday several new features designed to identify, flag, and slow the spread of false news stories on its platform, including a partnership with third-party fact-checkers such as Snopes and PolitiFact. It is also taking steps to prevent spammers and publishers from profiting from fake news.

From this article. Did snopes ever announce this, and I missed it?

But I don't see where it says that Snopes confirmed this, or not...



so it might be a hoax, still.

So is Facebook actually going to start abiding by their own TOS?

I was half-watching the German news when this Facebook plan was announced. Imagine my surprise when I looked up and saw the Snopes logo on the screen.

Congratulations! This makes Snopes an internationally known fact checking site!
