| Facebook will start a new fight with “Russian propaganda” |
| 2018-09-15 |
| Direct translation: Strip out the meta data from the pics before posting. [REGNUM] Facebook will begin to check the authenticity of photographs and videos published by users. The verification of the facts stated in them will be carried out by 27 third-party companies from 17 countries. Thus, the company will struggle with a lot of misinformation. Among the methods for identifying false information is the analysis of image metadata and search for previous publications on the Internet. Recognized by social networks, questionable photos and videos will be sent to Facebook partners for verification. Russian users were skeptical of this innovation, based on the Wall Street Journal's information that it is aimed at fighting "Russian propagandists" who allegedly spread fake news. |

| #1 Seems to me that Facebook could better fight propaganda by policing our own media first. |
