Facebook has begun letting partners fact check photos and videos beyond news articles, and proactively review stories before Facebook asks them. Facebook is also now preemptively blocking the creation of millions of fake accounts per day. Facebook revealed this news on a conference call with journalists about its efforts around election integrity that included Chief Security Officer Alex Stamos who’s said to be leaving Facebook later this year. Stamos outlined how Facebook is building ways to address false identities and fake accounts, false audiences grown illicitly or pumped up to make content appear more popular, acts of spreading false information, and false narratives that are intentionally deceptive and shape people’s views beyond the facts.
