Our approach to fact-checking

Fighting misinformation is an ever-evolving problem, and Facebook can’t do it alone. We rely on independent fact-checkers to review and rate the accuracy of stories through original reporting, which may include interviewing primary sources, consulting public data and conducting analyses of media, including photos and video.

Each time a fact-checker rates a piece of content as false on our platforms, we significantly reduce that content’s distribution so that fewer people see it, label it accordingly and notify people who try to share it. Fact-checkers do not remove content, accounts or Pages from Facebook. Facebook removes content when it violates our Community Standards, which is separate from our fact-checking program.

Where we have fact-checking

Since 2016, the program has expanded to include more than 80 organizations fact-checking in more than 60 languages globally.
