Facebook has started labelling content generated by media outlets it states are under state control, enacting a policy the social network first announced in October.
Pages and posts from at least 18 outlets including Russia Today, China’s People’s Daily and Iran’s Press TV now carry warnings to users that they are “state-controlled media.” Ads from state-controlled publishers will also be labelled starting later this year. The labels will initially be shown to U.S. Facebook users and roll out to other countries over time.
“We’re providing greater transparency into these publishers because they combine the influence of a media organization with the strategic backing of a state, and we believe people should know if the news they read is coming from a publication that may be under the influence of a government,” Nathaniel Gleicher, Facebook’s head of cybersecurity policy, wrote in a blog post.
