Facebook Dropping "Disputing Flags" From Fake Content
Facebook is no longer using red flags next to fake news articles according to a new report by Axios. Sara Fischer, Media Reporter at Axios, explains why the social media giant is shifting its strategy, and her outlook for the digital ad space in 2018.
"They've been radically transparent about things that aren't necessarily working," says Fischer. New research indicates when you flag something as being bad, it actually can make more people click more on that questionable content.
