Facebook says it will do its job. Do they want a lollypop for that? It is too little, too late from a company that willfully ignores the problems, hopes that it won't be caught. When it does, it says oops, issues a press release & promises to do better. https://t.co/4jItk1AZJT.

We're launching new ways to inform people if they’re interacting with content that’s been rated by a fact-checker, & taking stronger action against people who repeatedly share misinformation. Excited about these updates, which build on the work of our fact-checking partners ? https://t.co/CBAUcmnEiZ

*After* the 2016 election, after the genocide in Myanmar, after the 2020 election, after the 1/6 Insurrection...https://t.co/YNoGYYnwsI
Facebook rolling out additional steps to curb misinfo:
— Cristiano Lima (@viaCristiano) May 26, 2021
— Users will see a pop up when they go to like a page fact-checkers have found has shared misinfo
— Facebook says it'll reduce distribution of posts by users who fact-checkers found have shared misinfo https://t.co/ODABzFgox5
"Starting today, we will reduce the distribution of all posts in News Feed from an individual’s Facebook account if they repeatedly share content that has been rated by one of our fact-checking partners." https://t.co/PbTmoqFa39

New: Facebook will limit distribution of posts from personal accounts that routinely spread misinformation. So not just the fact-checked post, but every post that person shares will be down-ranked by the algorithm https://t.co/8JubivMYXD

Facebook will limit the reach of *all* posts from misinfo superspreader accounts in News Feed.
— issie lapowsky (@issielapowsky) May 26, 2021
Unclear how many misinfo posts would trigger demotion.
Users can get their reach restored if "they stop sharing false content after a certain period of time." https://t.co/5KBp8HHzuH
Facebook says it’s going to limit the reach of all posts from users who repeatedly share misinformation flagged by the co’s fact-checking partners https://t.co/jk82wQPe7n

Facebook to take action against users repeatedly sharing misinformation https://t.co/VgZ1hh2cOa
Also, we are rolling out more informative frictions and demotions — this time for people and pages that repeatedly share false information. Very excited about this launch!https://t.co/P2yK8UmkHS

Moderating bad actors rather than (in addition to) individual pieces of content is a big step in the right direction! Now the big question is whether/how Facebook will enforce these rules.https://t.co/CDg8oXegiY
