Facebook admits it must do more to stop the spread of misinformation
I think it would be relatively easy to have an &quot;auto-snopes&quot; feature which detects a URL being shared and immediately attaches a post that says &quot;this has been debunked by X&quot;<p>For example - I&#x27;ve seen dozens of links to Michael Moore&#x27;s trumpland speech which strategically ends with the phrase &quot;America will elect Trump and it will feel great&quot;<p>Sample: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.zerohedge.com&#x2F;news&#x2F;2016-10-25&#x2F;michael-moore-trumps-election-will-be-biggest-fuck-you-ever-recorded-human-history" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.zerohedge.com&#x2F;news&#x2F;2016-10-25&#x2F;michael-moore-trump...</a><p><pre><code>    He concludes:
         
    Yes, on November 8, you Joe Blow, Steve Blow, 
    Bob Blow, Billy Blow, all the Blows get to go
    and blow up the whole goddamn system because 
    it&#x27;s your right. Trump&#x27;s election is going to
    be the biggest fuck ever recorded in human 
    history and it will feel good.

but the truth is that is not what he <i></i>CONCLUDED<i></i><p>He continues:
<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=sVLTQIUMq18&amp;t=30" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=sVLTQIUMq18&amp;t=30</a> [sic]<p><pre><code>    ... and now you&#x27;re fucked.

EDIT - I feel like I should clarify I mean &quot;auto-snopes&quot; figuratively. Auto fair-balance might be a better descriptor. Something that links to an opposing opinion automatically, in cases of absolute falsehood the debunking, or even a CSS CLASS where there is a bright red &quot;FALSE&quot; wrapper.<p>Snopes doesn&#x27;t have to be the automatic choice.<p>Breaking filter-bubbles &amp; ensuring <i>truth</i> would be my goal on an idea like this. Not strictly &quot;promoting liberal media&quot;
