How Facebook is dealing with COVID-19: (Accidentally) removing articles, funding for fact-checkers and a WHO health alert
Facebook is on the front line of the various communication, information and connection issues which face communities and countries during the COVID-19 outbreak. Here, Mumbrella’s Hannah Blackiston breaks down what the company has been doing as the crisis rolls on.
Speaking to reporters in San Francisco on Wednesday, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak was pushing the social media company to its limits. His words came after a bug in the company’s anti-spam system blocked the publication of links to news stories about the coronavirus.
Links to stories from legitimate news outlets on the virus were blocked by the company’s automated system, which was reportedly unrelated to the fact the business sent its human moderators home days earlier.
