Facebook issued 40 million warning labels across its services

San Francisco: Facebook has issued 40 million warning labels across its services related to fake content around COVID-19, Its CEO Mark Zuckerberg has informed. Facebook has partnered with independent fact checkers who have marked more than 4,000 pieces of content related to COVID as false.

Zuckerberg said that warning labels work because 95 per cent of the time when someone sees a warning label, they don’t click through to view that content.

“We put COVID-19 Information Center at the top of everyone’s Facebook app, and so far we’ve directed more than 2 billion people to it. Equally important is also limiting the spread of misinformation. We don’t allow content that puts people at imminent risk of physical harm,” the Facebook CEO said late Wednesday. (IANS)
