Heard a good article on NPR this morning about how Google and Facebook are working on a "trustability" measurement system for news feeds.'

Why exactly are you posting obvious political information on NPNR?

'Democratic lawmakers have called on Facebook to inform users whether they were exposed to the Russian disinformation campaign.

Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) wrote letters to Facebook, Google and Twitter asking for them to alert consumers if they saw the content and ads. He had requested a response by Wednesday. Google and Twitter declined to comment"

I dunno I think real patriotism, being for the USA and not a tool for Russia kind of transcends politics.
As I understand it the were plenty of Russian fake news feeds that targeted and sought to enflame progressives too.
Don't you want to know if you were?

I can see that your feeble brain doesn't understand the concept of " NPNR ".

I only see one response to this thread that is partisan or political.

People that to date haven't bothered to verify news sources or social media feeds and share-material aren't going to pay any attention to messages from Google and Facebook. That's not a political statement. That is a fact of life. NPR had a story yesterday about municiple water authorities in the UK using "dowsing" to find underground water pipes. The comments were blown up with people defending the practice as legitimate in the face of overwhelming evidence that it is just a timeless flim flam sham. People still believe in water witches.

Hell, as far as Google and Facebook go I don't trust anything they tell me. All they do is spy on me. I turn off/disable all cameras, microphones, location services, reject cookies, delete browsing history immediately, us aliases and fake email address, etc... I will never use Alexa, Cortana, or similar.  But I know they've got a damned back door into every piece of electronics I've got running that is connected to the outside world. That is why they are of such value to scammers, charlatans, big multinational companies that want to screw you over.... They are the all seeing eye and the information they have is very dangerous when that eye links up to a nefarious brain. 

If you have facebook messenger app on your phone it accesses your microphone. You will get advertisements about stuff you talk about in phone conversations. I recommend deleting that malicious application. 

Probably fruitless. They are probably logging this post.

This thread is not political at all. FB is going to allow all users to check to see if they were pulled in by Russian PSYOPS. Every american should be concerned. It's a national security issue.

Then why exactly is this so promenently part of the text?

That's just semantics. This is a FB/American citizen iasue. Unless of course you approve of Russian PSYOPs. Do you?

Yup - this is about the American people and their inability to verify just where it is they get their news. An overwhelming number of people get it from FB - sad. The dumbing down of America continues...
