Issues are common in any service, and Facebook recently faced a problem with displaying problematic content on their platform.
Facebook's algorithm monitors content on the site, but a bug caused problematic content to take priority in users' feeds. It took Facebook six months to fix this software bug, with employees raising awareness internally.
While some misleading content continued to be promoted, Facebook has tools like content removal, fact-checking labels, and more to combat harmful information.
Facebook has focused on fact-checking since 2016, receiving support from various organizations and media outlets.
False content flagged by fact-checkers is downvoted to limit its spread. Users receive notifications about misleading content they try to share, encouraging awareness.
