Facebook Begins Marking 'Fake News' As 'Disputed'

[DEAD7]

Facebook is now marking fake news as "disputed," several sites reported today. "According to Facebook's Help Center, news stories that are reported as fake by people on Facebook may be reviewed by independent, third-party fact-checkers," writes WDRB Media. "The fact-checkers will be signatories of the non-partisan Poynter Code of Principles. A story will be marked as disputed if fact-checkers find the story to be fake."

Mashable reports that the feature was rolled out quietly, and didn't gain much attention until it was noticed Friday by a reporter from Gizmodo, who tweeted a screenshot showing Facebook's new "disputed" icon. Further investigation revealed Facebook's help center now includes a page explaining how news gets marked as disputed, and another page informing users how to mark a news story as fake (which points out this feature "isn't available to everyone yet.")

so they will mark Fox,CNN, MSNBC, NBC as disputed?

Probably not. But I have people on my page who are conservative and share sites like "conservativenewspartiotusa.info that claims the Supreme Court found obama guilty of being part of Isis.

I'm sure these are the sites that will get the "disputed " label.

I'm going to go out on the limb and say that if you're marginalizing someone's reality, you're impugning their freedom.
