"Facebook" announces a tool to verify the reality of videos and photos

As part of its ongoing efforts to combat counterfeit news, Facebook announced that the 27 fact-finding partners around the world now have access to a new image and video analysis tool designed to help identify content and take action against it more quickly.

Facebook says the technology is active in tracking publications that include unreal videos or images, using some methods such as feedback from users themselves, similar to the work you do with article links.

Once the system has identified a suspected image or video that has been altered or manipulated, the fact-checkers will ascertain whether the content is real or not. For example, during Mexico's 2018 presidential election, there was a fabricated image of candidate Ricardo Amaya, It turned out that this picture was not really true at the end.

"We know that fighting false news is a long-term commitment, because tactics used by bad actors are always changing," said Antonia Woodford, product manager at Facebook.

 Woodford said Facebook would continue to take action in the short term, including investing in more technology to ensure that its users do not have to be exposed to different types of counterfeit news.
