Facebook will take precedence over the news closest to you

Facebook is one of the largest social networks in the world and consequently one of the most used. This has become an increasingly versatile platform, increasingly useful and present in our day-to-day. This versatility contemplates the two sides of the coin, because not all the evolution that Facebook had was for the better.

There are many reports and experiences of users who see increasingly uninteresting information on this social network. When it comes to a service used by thousands of people it is only natural that some less good things spread.

One of the most recent controversies to reach this social network has to do with the false news. The ease with which a word spreads through Facebook was a predominant factor in this scenario. A scenario that began to gain greater expression after the election of Donald Trump as president of the United States of America.

Indeed, there have been several efforts that Mark Zuckerberg and his team have been developing to counter this scourge. One of the measures is to give users the possibility to catalogue a source of information as reliable or not.

Subsequently, changes were announced in the news feed in order to give priority to publications from our friends to family members. Everything so that you see, in the first place, that information that really interests you.

Facebook continues its fight against false news

In Zuckerberg's words, if a page you follow near your area of residence or a friend of yours shares a local story, it will appear at the top of your news feed. In this way, you will have access first to topics that will surely be of more interest to you, since they are closer to you.Now, a new step is being taken in this direction. Mark Zuckerberg announced, with his Facebook page, a new change in the algorithm of news presentation in the feed of its users. With this new algorithm, the local news, those that are closest to you will be displayed first.

This change has immediate effects. It is already available but for the time being only in the United States of America. The rest of the globe will also receive this news, something that should take place in the coming months.
