Facebook takes Instagram fact-checking global

Facebook is increasing its efforts to thwart misinformation on Instagram, which it owns.

Axar.az reports citing Watoday that the company has announced that Instagram's fact-checking program is going global, allowing 45 third-party organizations to review and label false information on the platform. Instagram began fact-checking in the US earlier this year after a pair of 2018 reports commissioned by the US senate highlighted Russian actors' efforts to target voters on the photo-sharing service.

Facebook will also be further integrating its fact-checking efforts across its flagship product and Instagram, which it acquired in 2012. If something is labeled false by fact-checkers on Facebook, it will now also be labeled as false on Instagram.

"We want you to trust what you see on Instagram," the company said in a blog post announcing the changes.
