Facebook to put warning labels on "Fake News"

Facebook has announced that it would soon launch warning labels to some "fake news"stories that it's users share on the socialnetwork.

False articles published to trick users will be marked with what we (Facebook) call's a "flag."

Below the caption, there will be a red label that says "disputed by 3rd Party Fact-Checkers."Users will be able to click on  "learn why this is disputed" link to get more facts.

Facebook will not be doing the fact-checking itself. CEO Mark Zuckerberg has repeatedly said that"we do not want to be determiners of truth ourselves, but instead rely on our community and trusted third parties."
