Facebook has rolled out a survey to ask users how misleading they believe certain article titles are. This survey comes as the network is facing criticism for the widespread availability of fake news on the site. Users are asked, “to what extent do you think that this link’s title uses misleading language?”
Responses to the question range from “not at all” to “completely.” Exactly how Facebook will use those responses isn’t clear, but they could have an impact on News Feed rankings and ad availability.
The use of user responses might be somewhat problematic given users are the ones responsible for sharing false and misleading posts. They may not be the best judges when it comes to identifying “misleading” titles.
