Facebook has a new feature "i" to help users identify Fake News?



The "i" button on the right-hand corner




The Facebook has been trying hard to address Fake News issue. Lately, they have come up with a feature that allows users to learn additional information about the news to determine the credibility of the story. The new "i" button located at the upper right-hand corner of an article. As product manager of Facebook Sara Sui says that  “People have told us that they want more information about what they’re reading. They want better tools to help them understand if an article is from a publisher they trust and evaluate if the story itself is credible.” This feature is still in its testing phase, any comments and feedback from users are taken into consideration. If this feature helps the users to gain a better perspective about the news source and publisher, I think its good start! [1 mage, 1 quote, 1 link,  136 words]
