Facebook has ramped up its effort to combat fake news with its new tool, Perspectives, which launched in the UK today. If, however, they chose not to participate, a link to the official Facebook page is listed instead. This is another tool in Facebook’s arsenal to direct people away from fake news at a crucial time. Facebook, naturally, opposes this, claiming that it will be forced to delete legal content in order to avoid fines. This, I suspect, is the real reason Facebook has made strong moves to combat fake news on its platform.
