To identify "Fake News", Facebook created a system called "AL" to remove any fake content (mostly about politics and publicity stunts) that their users may post, or fake accounts. Coming to an agreement with Alex, how does "AL" delete content, but can't read? How does it determine what's fake and what's real? In article, it states that Facebook does a "Fake News Challenge" for AL. For example: the content about people eating "Tide Pods" as challenge was actually fake news. The content was very disturbing and outrageous, to a point that child viewers believed that the challenges were true. They started to do the challenges; some children and adults died and some got severely sick because Tide Pods aren't meant to be eaten. After it came to Facebook's attention, all content relating to the "Tide Pod" challenge was permanently removed.
