Facebook Alerts Users to Misinformation—Most Interesting Thing in Tech 17.04.2020 6:23
Facebook is now alerting people who have interacted with false information or hoaxes about COVID-19. This is a good move! But it's complicated because: A) No one knows exactly what is true in a situation like this. Both the CDC and WHO have made mistakes. B) When you tell people something is a hoax it can just harden their belief in it. So Facebook has a slightly weird solution that may just confu...
