Breitbart:
Facebook recently spoke with Axios, revealing a number of plans to promote news outlets on its platform including the creation of a “News Tab” featuring outlets handpicked by Facebook, changing how millions of people receive news.
Axios reports that social media giant Facebook has new plans aimed at helping handpicked news outlets on its platform and will be hiring a number of seasoned journalists to curate a planned “News Tab” feature. The news tab is reportedly an effort by Facebook to restore some credibility to the site’s news feed which it believes has become inundated with fake news and clickbait.
Facebook plans to personalize the News Tab meaning it will require a vast amount of content on a wide range of topics for users. The new venture is reportedly part of a personal project by Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg to improve the company’s relationship with publishers which have previously accused social media of destroying their business models and stealing content. more here
anyone stupid enough to be on Fakebook deserves every abuse they get …. sheeple led to the slaughter
… don’t be surprised when you receive, free of charge, your anal probes … “oh but every one of my ‘likes’ can see what I ate today!”
“The majority of stories people will see will appear in the tab via algorithmic selection.”
Not much faith in the “seasoned veteran” journos, Facebook? Can’t say that I blame you. But none of that really matters. This is just another maneuver in your charade of calling yourself a “publisher” when you need to, and calling yourself a “platform” when that works better.
Thankfully, I will never be banned or sanctioned by Fakebook, unless “not on social” becomes a Red Flag for firearm purchases.
There needs to be a “Dump Facebook” campaign with website banner scripts, T-shirts and bumper stickers.
FCC – look, fresh meat
To think that the ChiComs are calling the kettle black. Social censorship for the slaughter.

“……effort by FaceBook to restore some credibility to the site……”
HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAAHAHA,………… (gasp gasp pant pant) YHGTBFSM!!!
I hope FuckZuck loses a metric buttload of money over this. Karma is a bitch.
So I’ll continue to have nothing to do with facebook. No problem here.
Zuckerberg should be tarred and feathered, stripped of his wealth, and run out of town on a rail.
