Facebook To Base Newsfeeds On Users Preference
- 6 years ago
Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg said on Friday, Facebook Inc will prioritize “trustworthy” news in its feed of social media posts. The company will use member surveys to identify high-quality outlets and fight sensationalism and misinformation.
It has more than 2 billion monthly users. Those members, not experts or Facebook executives, would determine how news outlets rank in terms of trustworthiness. In addition, the platform said it would put an emphasis on local news sources.
