Mark that Facebook allows situations like this makes us think that it is NOT socially responsible
Since the creation of Facebook and other social networks, communication with other people has become easier. News spreads much faster and even it can be presented to the public right at the moment it happens, a fact that until a few years ago was almost impossible.
In all these years that Facebook has been present in our lives, we have seen great technological development that companies, governments and even people take advantage of to their benefit.
On the platform we can find any type France Mobile Number List of content; social, economic, political, sports, gastronomic, job offers, cultural sites, among others.
The growth has been so accelerated that year after year both Facebook, YouTube, and other platforms have had to encounter different bumps, which is why they must update the platform very frequently.
Facebook, for example, found a year ago that groups were formed within its platform where parts of endangered animals were sold, including elephant ivory, rhino horn and even tiger teeth. The social network had to make changes to avoid and eliminate this situation.
A few days ago, the company, which has more than 3,484 million active users, also realized that it has an area of opportunity regarding the content that is published about health-related publications that are not merely professional in nature.
False health treatments; Facebook and YouTube go against
Facebook and YouTube have realized that their users are publishing content that spreads "sensational" information and false medical versions.
That is why it is modifying its algorithm and with this it will eliminate and penalize those pages and posts that try to sell or promote alternative cures and miraculous medicines.
Facebook stated that since last month it has made changes to reduce the spread of misleading medical stories, including those from groups that oppose the use of recommended vaccines.
To help people get accurate health information and support their needs, “sensational or misleading health content needs to be minimized,” Travis Yeh, product manager for the social network, said in a blog post.
YouTube, for its part, said it is also reacting similarly to Facebook.
It all started when the Wall Street Journal, one of the most recognized newspapers in the United States, published a report showing how false information about health prevails on social networks; such as using baking soda injections to cure cancer.
The report, based on doctors, lawyers, privacy experts and others, found misleading claims, including videos that say there are products that would help the disease disappear, a false claim.
