Guardian: Facebook fact-checkers raise doubts

Guardian: Facebook fact-checkers raise doubts: In late 2016, the social media giant announced the fact-checking program, in which Facebook partners with third-party fact checkers, including the Associated Press, Snopes, ABC News and others, to mark fake news with a “disputed” tag that would warn users about passing on debunked content. A Guardian review found “that the fact-checks seemed to be mostly ineffective and that ‘disputed’ tags weren’t working as intended,” says the paper.
