(Reuters photo)Facebook has stepped up efforts to mitigate false news and hate speech ahead of Thailand’s March 24 general election. A user who sees a suspicious page can look for more information in the “Info and Ads” section of that page. “This restriction is expected to take effect mid-February and will apply to electoral ads if they are being run by advertisers based outside of Thailand,” read the statement.
