We have the first results of Facebook's determined “struggle against fake news”. And, as a Steemit member, you can put up your best smile of satisfaction :)
After being exposed as an ultimate platform for disseminating terrorist propaganda and fake news, and as the greatest online opioids market, Facebook “improved” the system by effectively imposing censorship. With all of this, selling fake followers to a desperate people, and tracking everyone with official ID sounds like a petty crimes.
After all these “brilliant” moves, the results have come up: in the last quarter, collective time Facebook users spend on the platform is reduced by about 5%, or 50 million hours a day, or some 700,000 active users less.
But that really doesn't matter, says Mark Sucker… Zuckerberg, because he actually has increased advertising profit by 61%! Less sheep, more shearing!
And he already has a new plan: After a user views a piece of news, Facebook is now going to ask them if that news is true or not! If it sounds too unbelievable, The Resident will break it down for you :)
