Facebook intends to rely on the opinions of users in the assessment of "credibility of the news"

Mark Zuckerberg

Facebook has announced that it will give priority to sources of news that have great confidence in news feeds.

The company said social network users will decide what sources are trusted by surveying users' opinions.

Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg said the news content would soon be about 4 percent of what appeared on the newsfeeds or Newsfeed, up from 5 percent earlier.

The move is the company's last attempt to overcome the problem of spreading so-called false news and spreading lies on the social network.

As part of this ongoing battle, Twitter announced on Friday that it had identified 677,775 US-based users who were re-registering, admiring and following up the calculations of a Russian Web mechanism ahead of the 2016 US presidential election.

The amendment is an attempt to turnkey evaluations in terms of bias and accuracy away from Facebook employees and throwing them at the users' playground.

"We thought of asking for help from outside experts, who might make a decision away from our assessment, but do not expect this to solve the problem of objectivity, or we may ask you, as an audience, and your review will determine your rating," Zuckerberg said.

Users will be asked, as they are sometimes asked about advertising, to identify sources of news they trust.

"There is a lot of excitement, misinformation, and polarization in the world today," wrote Zuckerberg, who recently announced that his challenge this year was to "fundamentally reform" Facebook.

"Social networking sites have enabled people to disseminate information more quickly than ever, and if we do not face these problems, in particular, we will end up amplifying them," he said.

Winners and Losers
According to Facebook, the new rating system will first be tested according to the US user rating, and the results of the survey will not be publicly disclosed.

However, emerging brands will suffer if the recognition is not strong, regardless of whether the content is trustworthy or not.
