Facebook says it is making major changes to its News Feed to show users less news and more posts from friends and family. The changes were recently announced in a Facebook post by co-founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg. The intention is to create “more meaningful social interactions” for users. He said the company feels a responsibility “to make sure our services aren’t just fun to use, but also good for people's well-being.” The News Feed is a collection of posts that includes photos, updates and links from a user’s family and friends. It can also show material from media companies and advertisements. The social media service says it will start prioritizing posts from friends and family in News Feed.
