Facebook announced that it could ban the publication of news in their social networks in Canadabecause a new law would force the transnational corporation to pay for Canadian media content.

That’s how he let it know The Wall Street Journal, which revealed that the Canada News Act encourages Facebook to share the revenue it creates with journalists in Canada.

However, Meta parent company of facebookaccused that Canadian legislation, introduced last April, ‘unfairly benefits from its relationship with publishers’

This news comes after last October 20, the agency AFP announce that Facebook Thursday added a tool for people in groups to automatically filter debunked posts after being uploaded to the platform.

The ability for group admins to send incorrect information to a ‘quarantine queue’ comes ahead of the midterm elections in United States And while Facebook’s parent company Meta continues to fend off criticism that it’s not doing enough to combat fake messages.

Tool allows active groups to self-quarantine new tagged articles as false information, as well as previously published claims that were later found to be false, Facebook said.

“To help ensure that content is more trusted for the community as a whole, group admins can automatically move posts containing qualifying information false by external fact-checkers to pending posts so admins can review them before deleting them”, pointed out the CEO of Facebook, Tom Allison.

Since March, Facebook allows platform groups to automatically reject new posts flagged as containing false information, targeting a part of the massive network that has raised particular concerns from agencies disinformation control.

More than 1.8 billion people a month they use Facebook groups, which allow members to congregate around topics ranging from parenthood to politics.
