FACEBOOK INTRODUCES TOOL THAT TELLS YOU IF YOU ARE READING FAKE NEWS
After the shooting in Las Vegas, Facebook again faced a flood of fake news, and in a struggle to provide users with accurate information, they now unrolled a new tool.
According to 24 sata, Facebook has begun testing a new feature that will give you an added context around the articles you read in your News Feed, so we can be better informed about what we read, share and trust.
Those that Facebook chose for the test, above the title of the article will see a little letter “i”. By clicking on it, you will get a lot of additional information, about the publisher of the information, collected from Facebook and other sources, but there will also be other stories related to the same topic or information about how the article is shared on Facebook.
DOVE ADMITS IT ‘MISSED THE MARK’ WITH WHITEWASHING AD
Dove has apologised after publishing an ad on its Facebook page on Saturday (7 October) in which it showed a black woman turning white after using its lotion.
The image was later removed, and the brand took to Twitter to apologise for “missing the mark”.
“An image we recently posted on Facebook missed the mark in representing women of color thoughtfully. We deeply regret the offense it caused,” Dove posted in a statement.
But the damage was done: Twitter users are issuing boycott calls and expressing their anger both at the ad, and the brand’s apology.
MCDONALD’S RICK AND MORTY PROMOTION GOES WRONG
Chaotic scenes have unfolded at McDonald’s outlets across the US after the fast food chain underestimated the response to a promotion it was running for fans of the TV show Rick and Morty, in which it promised to bring back a limited edition, long out of production Szechuan dipping sauce.
The chain announced it would be selling a limited run of a long out-of-production Szechuan dipping sauce – which is referenced in the third season of Rick and Morty – for fans on Saturday (7 October).
However, the promotion quickly backfired when fans – some of whom had reportedly queued for hours – were told the sauce had ran out.
Police were called to at least one outlet after people in queues for the sauce began getting angry and chanting “We want sauce”, the Guardian reported.
