Last week Facebook announced it was going to implement a system where users would be asked to complete surveys to determine the quality of news postings. Well the survey has been leaked, and it is 2 questions. "Do you recognize the following websites?" And "How much do you trust each of these domains?"
Wow Facebook. I give you the slowest of claps for your thorough efforts to combat fake news. Fortunately for most Facebook users, the questions are multiple choice.
"As part of our ongoing quality surveys, we will now ask people whether they’re familiar with a news source and, if so, whether they trust that source. The idea is that some news organizations are only trusted by their readers or watchers, and others are broadly trusted across society even by those who don’t follow them directly. (We eliminate from the sample those who aren’t familiar with a source, so the output is a ratio of those who trust the source to those who are familiar with it.)" Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook
