Facebook is planning to curb the number of fraudulent stories, hoaxes and scams appearing on the users' News Feed.
According to the Verge, users have had the ability to flag inaccurate News Feed posts for some time, and now Facebook says it'll be looking at that data to spot links, photos, videos, and status updates with a high number of reports claiming that the featured content is bogus.
Facebook will also consider the number of users deleting a post, as it would indicate the annoyance factor.
The company reportedly wrote in a blog post: "This means a post with a link to an article that many people have reported as a hoax or chosen to delete will get reduced distribution in News Feed.
