Facebook has rolled out the biggest acts in its fight against fake news. His actions, however, start to frighten, because they resemble those served by the Chinese government.

On the pages of The Washington Post, an article appeared in which we can read that the largest social networking site in the world is developing a User Assessment System in terms of their reliability and reliability in sharing and disseminating information through this medium.

Of course, this action is to be the next phase of a large-scale fight against fake news. Although the network immediately voices that Facebook is inspired by the socialist ideas of the Chinese authorities, which implemented the extremely controversial project of the Citizens' Assessment System (see here), officially stated that there is no question of creating a User Assessment System.

Facebook translations, however, are far-fetched. Officially, the website develops a process protecting against unjustified information labeling as false in order to defraud the verification system. At the same time, there was information that users who will notoriously attempt to manipulate the message rating system for false messages will be punished, for example, by exclusion from the notification system or even blocking the account. This is to be assessed based on the history and quality of applications.

Although the service representatives do not reveal how the whole process looks like, we can guess that Facebook will collect some data about us, to assess our credibility on this basis. In this way, it will increase the detectability of manipulation. There is no other way to do it. Besides, Facebook specializes in such campaigns and it is safe to say that it is a global expert.

Facebook relies in its assessment of the quality and credibility of content on services such as Snopes and PolitiFact, and uses its algorithms, which have been developed for several years. If we look with a cool eye on this entire fight with fake news, hosted by the largest Internet corporations, we can conclude that the case has a second bottom.

The struggle seems to be doomed to failure, because there is no physical possibility to assess whether something is false or real, because the point of view depends on the point of sitting. For this information can be a great weapon in political competition. Facebook has left-liberal views and such content is also welcome on the site, and this is not a lenses point of view, only one-sided. So what are we talking about creating the truth.

One thing is certain, the fight against fake news already makes the giants, under the cover of the Internet variety for the better, have the right to collect even more information about us that they can sell to advertisers or technology companies. And I think that's what it was all about from the beginning. In the end, the cash register must match, and by keeping the society on a leash, you can calmly pursue your higher goals.
