'Trust Indicator' to identify false news on Facebook

The false news is not new. But perhaps it gets extensive publicity last year. The presidential election was held in the United States for the last year. During the campaigning of the election, the issue of false news comes to the fore again around the world in response to Trump.

Then the arrows of the complaint came in different media. In this context, Facebook has taken several steps to popular social media. One of them is to identify false news. With that goal, Facebook recently added an icon named 'Trust Indicator'.

Following the use of this technology, after publishing a news on Facebook, publisher's policy and ownership will be published in a variety of topics. Facebook says that in the initial stages a small group of publishers is being added to the index.

Facebook said in a statement that we believe that due to this new attachment, the publication of the news publishers themselves can be verified by themselves.

This is a bigger fight about false news and false information about Facebook, Facebook says.
In this statement, it is said that through this, we are adding people to the news publisher and some other related matters so that they can make the right decision.

This indicator has been developed under a team trust project at Santa Clara University. And Google and Craig Newmark provided money in this.
