“Over the past few months, our in-house research team has found that the timeliness of an article is the most important part of context helping users decide what to read, believe and share,” Facebook Vice President John Hegeman said on the social media-owned blog. , Tuesday, June 30th.

Facebook admits that the spread of old news and articles is often shared by its users by adding the wrong context. Such cases are rife during political campaigns or elections.

In fact, this is not a new feature that Facebook has pinned on platform-his. In 2018, Mark Zuckerberg’s social media has added a ‘context’ button that provides a glimpse of information about the source of the news inside News Feed, as summarized from Slash Gear.

Unfortunately this feature is not effective enough to ward off the spread of disinformation or hoax news shared by its users. Even though by tapping the context button, Facebook will display information related to the media, articles uploaded to the age of the news since it was first published.

By knowing the age of news and article content to be uploaded, it is hoped that Facebook users can be wiser when sharing information. Moreover, old news with inappropriate contexts will only cause disinformation.

“By providing more context, our goal is to make it easier for users to identify the content in a timely, reliable, and most valuable way to them,” said a Facebook representative.
