When you see a news story in your Facebook News Feed, you might assume that it is true. So, perhaps, you share it. But what if the story was false, or fake? Through a simple mistake, you might be spreading information that is untrue. Facebook has started a program to battle the spread of fake news. The program alerts Facebook users when independent fact checkers have disputed the truth of a news story. Facebook also has made it easier for its users to dispute a news story. A video from Facebook introduces the new update Facebook is launching for noting fake news. The video was released in December, when Facebook first announced it was testing this ‘fake news’ program The program for dealing with fake news has four parts. Each one is supposed to help users identify when a shared news report is not true.
