The company also recently announced that on the wall of its users will give priority to content published by family or friends.
The social network Facebook announced that it will value and classify the media based on the trust granted by the users of the platform.
Thus, headers with better ratings will have priority in the news thread of users, a strategy with which the company hopes to combat "sensationalism, misinformation and polarization."
"We have decided that allowing the community to determine which sources are widely accepted would be the most objective," said Facebook creator Mark Zuckerberg, Efe reported.
"Social networks allow people to disseminate information faster than ever, and if we do not deal with these problems, we end up amplifying them, which is why it is important that the news thread promotes high quality news that helps build a series of common interests, "he added.
Last week, Facebook began to ask its users about their familiarity with certain media and their trust in them. These questionnaires will be extended to give priority to means that are "trustworthy, informative and local".
In addition, the company recently announced that in the wall of its users will give priority to the contents published by family or friends in front of the publications that bear the signature of companies or media.
Zuckerberg said that these changes are aimed at improving and making more valuable the experiences of its users in this network.
"Recently, we have received comments from our community that public content - business publications, brands and media - is displacing personal moments that lead us to connect more with others," he said in a post on his official Facebook profile. .
The founder of the social network admitted that videos and other corporate content on the platform have grown a lot in the last two years, so there are more publications of this kind than personal ones from friends and family.
This is just the way they're covering up for their censorship. It sounds better to say that they are prioritizing human relationships than to say that they are trying to quiet certain people/media.
