| Facebook shares more about what reduces its impact |
The way Facebook controls the news feed is often too controversial and opaque to the outside world. The company is now trying to find out more about what was deleted, but it hasn't completely removed it.
The company has released a content distribution guide that lists about 13 types of posts that have been demoted in newsfeeds for various reasons, such as:
This process relies heavily on machine learning technology to automatically detect problematic content and effectively limit access to objectionable posts and comments without the knowledge of the author.
There is still plenty of advice out there, and the company has confirmed it in various reports over the years. But now it is being published in one place for the first time.
These descriptions do not indicate how folding works or how much a piece of content can be reduced. Or, for example, how much you reduce the coverage of certain types of posts (such as spam links) in your newsfeed compared to posts about misleading health information.
Jason Hirsch, Head of Corporate Integrity Policy, said, “We want to make clear what we think is a problem, but it's not worth removing because it's clearly not against corporate policy.
He stated that the company hopes to add more information to the guide over time, including how discounts can reduce certain types of content compared to other content. However, he said, Facebook is unlikely to judge the severity of the layoffs.
Facebook deletes low volume content
Putting in place guidelines now can help companies avoid controversy the next time they reduce the reach of their posts.
The guide states that it is company policy to reduce access to inaccurate user stories before a third-party fact-checking network completes the review.
A year ago, the policy gained widespread media coverage after critics accused the company of political bias.
According to our sales guidelines, other types of discounts offered through Facebook include:
