In the alleged fight against “fake news”, Facebook has given third-party fact-checkers the access to private data and private messages.
Untrue. Third-party fact-checkers will have the right to analyze only the shared content (i.e. not the private): bit.ly/2gO3OFX,
Questions about this case?
Cases in the EUvsDisinfo database focus on messages in the international information space that are identified as providing a partial, distorted, or false depiction of reality and spread key pro-Kremlin messages. This does not necessarily imply, however, that a given outlet is linked to the Kremlin or editorially pro-Kremlin, or that it has intentionally sought to disinform. EUvsDisinfo publications do not represent an official EU position, as the information and opinions expressed are based on media reporting and analysis of the East Stratcom Task Force.
