| Facebook hides pages sharing false information |
The Facebook platform is now ready to edit pages that often contain incorrect information.

The company will require certified fact checkers to link the hidden posts with more information in a popup.
She added that it also provided a way for people to know when to interact with fact-checkers' rated content.
Facebook did not provide any criteria for determining the "frequency" of sharing false information.

Facebook also uses unblocking restrictions to penalize individual accounts that constantly transmit incorrect information.
This means that you will see their posts in news sources at a lower rate.

Although posts that were found to be incorrect have been returned to the newsfeed, users who regularly share incorrect information will now be rejected from all content.
Facebook has also redesigned its notifications, exposing misinformation.
