Do your friends become extremists? ask Facebook anew

Today, social network operators are trying all sorts of ways to prevent the spread of false, misinformation or otherwise harmful messages in posts. As part of this fight, for example, Facebook recently introduced a tool against reckless and notorious sharing. The same service is now testing another element whose mission is essentially labeling extremists or radicals. And this directly between the users themselves.

Maybe you know the situation. Do you have someone on Facebook with friends who shares more and more radical and aggressive contributions and it’s not entirely pleasant for you. At the same time, it is, for example, a classmate or even a family member whom you do not want to completely remove from the “friendlist”. Exactly for this case, the new function was invented and is being tested in the United States.

For a post from a user you suspect of radical expression behind the edge, you will be able to do this fear of sharing with Facebook. He will then inform the person that he may have become (calmly or unwanted) part of an aggressive campaign. Such labeling of extremists will, of course, be anonymous, and the potential aggressor will not know who and why he pointed it out.

How many such people do you remember right now?
