It makes sense. Facebook wants to treat anti-vaccine theories like fake news

The end of promoting anti-vaccines on Facebook. The company is seriously considering limiting this type of content on the platform.

Information about the fact that big pharmaceutical companies stuff vaccines with sulfur from the very bottom of hell, bought directly from Lucifer, are well carried on Facebook. This is how the algorithm works. It is content that evokes a whole range of strong emotions, they are often and passionately commented, lobbied and sent on.

Anti-grafting on Facebook like fake news.

According to Bloomberg , after that in Washington there have been cases of measles cases , even the politicians have reached anxiety. Adam Schiff, a member of the House of Representatives, wrote a letter to Facebook and Google. He urged the companies to do their best to fight the flooding Internet of alleged harmfulness of the vaccines. The rate is too high to only look at clickthrough statistics and ignore the content of promoted posts. It is about the health and life of people, including the youngest.

Facebook responded to the call. The company has announced that it will look at the matter and consider introducing solutions that are already testing in the fight against fake news. Among them is limiting or completely removing this type of content from recommendations, including those concerning groups or reducing their results in the search field (if you have strong nerves, enter the vaccine password in the search on the platform and see for yourself what is shown). This is to go hand in hand with the promotion of scientific content from more reliable sources than those claiming that vaccines change children into the minds of the Great Evil Cyborg.

Do not delete, explain.

Social media is a huge platform for the exchange of ideas, even if these are not always the highest flights. Closing on the views of one group can be detrimental both for her and for us. The fact that we stop seeing something, does not make it disappear, it may disappear from our radars and continue to develop into the best, while not criticized and not blamed with any counterargument (note: you have a salad instead of a brain, it is not a counterargument).

You have to be aware that Facebook is still the main source of information for many people. And although they are caught by the hand and asked directly about whether they get knowledge from Facebook, they probably wrinkle with a scorn of eyebrows and answer that in life , but you can not always believe in it. And I do not even mean premeditated confabulation.

If among the content we read regularly, there are theses such as that the vaccines cause autism or are made of fetuses, which during the selection of Elżbieta Batory rejected before bathing, then slowly this idea may become more credible in our eyes. The basic laws of advertising also work in the market for hypotheses, ideas and conspiracy theories.

It is not known whether any restrictions could also appear in Poland. However, given that Facebook's reaction appeared in response to an open letter from one of politicians, he may hope that one of our prominents will want to demonstrate in this way before the election. I would not mind.
