After the recent U.S. elections, Facebook slightly transformed its platform’s News Feed to highlight important information regarding post-elections. It changed the News Feed algorithm to tweak how much weight the News Feed gives to “news ecosystem quality” scores, which is an internet metric designed to evaluate the reliability and quality of a news source.
As a result, users could see more authentic news from credible publishers such as The New York Times, CNN, and NPR and less of the dubious sources such as pages that spread false or misleading information.
